Shared Learning - on the first Friday after half term we will be hosting our regular opportunity for parents to come into school to take a look at their child's learning from 2:45pm, for those will more than one child, please come into school from 2:30pm.  Please ensure you leave the classroom to wait on the playground at 3:10pm.  If you have younger siblings who need to attend with you, please make an appointment with the class teacher.

After School Clubs -  we will be continuing to offer the ITFC Club on Mondays wtih field games as the focus for next half term.  This will be open to KS2 children who can sign up via the website.  It will start on the first Monday after half term and run until 8th July.  Therefore 6 sessions priced at £2 per session.  Please ensure payment is made prior to the club commencing on Monday 3rd June either via the website or cash in a named envelope on that day.  Coding Club will not be continuing next half term.  Lego Club will continue on Tuesdays for children in years 1-4 - please see attached letter to book onto the club directly through Kids with Bricks.

Governor Elections - you should have received a notification via the website about our Parent Governor election.  Please do complete the short form to share your views.  Both candidate statements are available on the link for your information.  Closing date to respond is Monday 3rd June.

PTA - our PTA work really hard behind the scenes to put on events for our children to enjoy.  They raise amazing amounts of money to support the school in providing experiences for the children - see the notices around school for amounts donated.  Please do all you can to support them by attending events, helping at events or offering your services at meetings and becoming part of the team.  Please help at the fete if you can - more volunteers means shorter stints!  We will be hosting a dress down day on Friday 14th June to support a stall at the summer fete.  Please support this by sending children in non-uniform in exchange for a bottle - clothing should be appropriate for a learning environment.

2nd Hand Uniform - don't forget to bring some pennies at collection this afternoon as there will be a 2nd hand uniform sale - if you missed the order this week, why not take a look!

Lost Property - please ensure you take a look at the top shelf of the lunchbox trolley.  This is where we place any items of lost property - whether it be jumpers/cardigans, lunch tubs or water bottles.  Come the end of the school year, anything remaining on there will be disposed of appropriately.  Please remember to label everything - that way it won't end up on the trolley.

Every week we encourage parents to support their children to learn and use new vocabulary.  In school we will be exploring the origin of new words, what they mean and how to use them effectively in context.  If you can encourage your child to use these words it would be really helpful!
