Today is our SPRING FAIR. There will be lots of stalls for you and the children to enjoy. Doors open at 3.15 so once you've picked up your children come on in through the front door.

Remember to avoid the car park after school today.

The staff and children would like to thank the PTA for the nice new computers in their classrooms.

Next Term

Don't forget to put the 24th April at 9am in your diaries. Many of you mentioned in our survey that you would like to understand what the children have been doing around emotional health. This session will help you understand MindUp and give you ideas of activities to try at home. Refreshments will be provided by the PTA.

Following on from this we also be offering a Mindfulness after school club (RootUp) next term for the juniors. Details will be coming your way next week.

Kitchen News

Next Thursday, as it is the last day of term, the kitchen are going to be offering the Friday menu choice so that the children won't miss out on their beloved pizza!

A reminder that the menu changes on our return for the Summer Term, and that the cost has risen to £2.40 per day, which is still a great price for a delicious and nutritious two course meal.

Finally, as end of term and financial year end is next week, can we remind you not to have ANY debts on your children's dinner accounts.  Check balances and top up using School Gateway.

School Journey

It's getting closer!  The final numbers and confirmation will be sent next week to the Isle of Wight on receipt of the final payments (Monday is the deadline). Kit lists should be ready before you break for Easter so you'll have plenty of time to prepare.
