Swimming at Berinsfield
Swimming will begin for Class 2 pupils (Years 3 & 4) on Monday 7th September. They will have 7 sessions (not 6 which we originally said on the final July newsletter - apologies). As always, we appreciate a contribution of £1 per pupil, per swimming session towards the cost of the transport.

Pupils in Years 1 and 2 should have received today details of the Multisports Club which will begin on Wednesday 9th September for 10 weeks (excluding Wednesday 25th November).
Pupils in Years 3-6 should have received today details of the Netball Club which will begin on Wednesday 9th September for 10 weeks (excluding Wednesday 25th November).

The letter offering Football Club (run by Premier Sports Group) to pupils in Years 3-6 beginning on Thursday 10th September was sent to families at the end of last term. If anyone would like another copy of this letter, please let Mrs Hopkins know.

After School Fun Club
A reminder that there are currently places available on Mondays, Tuesday and Wednesdays at the after school fun club, run by Mrs Howlett and Mrs Hopkins until 5pm each day in the portacabin. The cost is £5 per session for payment received in advance and £6 if paid on the day. A registration form needs to be completed (if it hasn’t been already) and this club is open to all pupils aged 3 or over.
