Lunch boxes left on the trolley - have been emptied but will be disposed off at the end of the first week back if not claimed!
Information to ShareFarewell - this morning we bid farewell to our year 6 children as they make their way off to high school and new adventures. We wish them all the best for the future. We wish everyone else a very happy summer and look forward to seeing you all again on 4th September. Look out for emails on the PD days to update you on anything you need to be aware of. School Council Results - following speeches and voting last week, our school council for next year comprises Evelyn, Gweny, Ellie P, Bear, Darcie, Nancy, George B, Willow, Eliana and Pippa. Well done to everyone who put themselves forward. Medication - please note, any medication held in school will be sent home today. This must be collected by an adult - if your child usually walks home without an adult and has medication in school, please ensure someone comes to collect it at the end of the day. Lost Property - please do take a moment to check for lost property on the top of the lunchbox trolley - the numbers of jumpers on there has been growing in recent weeks. Please, please, please ensure all items are labelled in the new year. insert tenuous link ;-) Label News - to help with labelling items, we have joined forces with Labels4Schools who are sending us a dozen free labels for children in KS1. They will also supply labels for KS2 children at a discounted rate if parents want to order them - please see the attached posters for more details on how to purchase them. These will be essential for labelling new smart uniform for September - the uniform requirements are on the website here. Menu - the current menu will continue in the autumn term until the October half term. There has been a slight adjustment to a couple of the days following feedback from pupils, so it might be worth taking a look at the latest version, attached to the newsletter. It can also be located on the website here. Don't forget, the Lunchtime Lunchbox is NOT offered at our school. Monies - please ensure all dinners are paid for by the end of the day. If your child is moving into year 3, you will need to start to pay for any hot dinners. If you feel you may qualify for free school meals, please complete the relevant paperwork - see attached poster. Any outstanding payments for PGL are due by the end of the month please. Holiday Homework - times tables have been set for the children over the holidays. Their login details are on a label in their diary. We would also like to encourage the children to read over the holidays, there are lots of online books available via https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/ and the login details are: Y5/6 - af56 / bcps
Y3/4 - wh34 / bcps
YR12 - were/ bcps
Library Reading Quest - Suffolk Libraries Summer Reading Quest started on Saturday 13th July. The website below explains all of the details and the children have been spoken to in collective worship. There are posters in each classroom advertising the quest. If the children bring their certificate into school in September, they can have an extra sticker on the Reading Giants chart and be entered into a prize draw.
Attendance Policy Update - We are in the process of updating our attendance policy in line with changes from the DfE. This will come into effect from September. Further details were attached to last week's newsletter. This is important information for parents as there are some significant changes.
3rd Party Information - please take a look at the website for details of holiday clubs and events taking place over the summer in the Local Clubs & Events section - this is constantly added to during the year and offers a wealth of opportunities. The information shared contains details we have been asked to share with our families, we are not necessarily promoting or suggesting them, just allowing families to investigate and make up their own minds.
