Swimming Kit
As the weather is so nice at the moment, please could we remind ALL pupils that they should have swimming kit in school each day, which must include their own swimming hat.
School Meals Price Increase
We have just received notification that the cost of a school meal will rise on 1st September to £2.05. Cheques for school meals should be made payable to Oxfordshire County Council, with Stadhampton Primary School written on the back please. Thank you.
Community Tea
We are hosting a community tea for the elders of the parish on Tuesday 6th July from 2pm. If any parents would be willing to provide a cake which could be cut up or individual small cakes towards this event, we would really appreciate it.
Clothes Recycling Collection
The PTA has now received a cheque for the last clothes recycling collection. 770kgs were collected which raised £284.90. Many thanks to everyone for this magnificent effort.
Watlington Partnership of Schools International Week
Last week the Watlington Partnership of Schools held an “International Week”. This involved a variety of international education activities in each school and culminated in a joint display of work from all the primary schools being presented at Icknield Community College. In addition, Year 5 pupils from across the partnership attended a drumming workshop, which they thoroughly enjoyed! Volunteer Year 5 pupils returned, after school, to provide a drumming demonstration for parents who were also able to view the displays. Many thanks to Year 9 Art pupils at ICC for setting up the displays on behalf of the primary schools and especially to Andrew Oakley and Tom Leighfield for representing Stadhampton School in the drumming demonstration!
Little Bears News
We are very excited at Little Bears this week as we have been told the long awaited climbing frame is arriving on Thursday! We do intend to spend a great deal of time on it over the next few weeks. Meanwhile we are thinking about Under the Sea. We have made a beautiful Mermaid collage and lots of ‘Fishy’ colourings and paintings. We are moving on to octopus and starfish later this week and next.

Watlington Partnership of Schools Summer Activity Sheet
A copy of the above sheet was sent home to each family, via book bags, earlier this week.
School Fete
We would like to thank the PTA, and all concerned, for the fantastic fete held here last Saturday. It was wonderful to see so many people from school and the local community enjoying themselves and for our pupils to present their dances. And now over to the PTA ...
PTA Message
School Summer Fete – a huge thank you and well done to everyone involved in the Fete on Saturday. Thank you to those people who helped get it off the ground and to everyone who helped on the day. Thank you also to the many parents who donated things to sell as well as everyone who bought raffle tickets. All our combined efforts managed to raise a huge £1521, so thank you and well done. A special thank you to all those who did dances and demonstrations, it certainly made fantastic viewing and created a really good atmosphere for a quintessential community event.The winners of the raffle are listed at the end of this newsletter. The only prize to be claimed is for a J. Blackburn ticket number 337 – please check your stubs and let me know who to give the prize to. The winners of the cress animal competition were: Sophie (6-8 category) and Alice (9-12 category); the winners of the best dressed umbrella competition were: Isobel (5 and under category) and Abby (6-8 category). All entries won a prize.
Chiltern Chase – The turnout was very impressive taking into consideration many had been out partying the night before! Eleven runners did the 10k run, some for the first time and everyone came home in very good times. The runners on the day were: Nathan Manzie, Marc Oakley, Keith Browning, Karen Amery, Nige Wright, Karen Cove, Lucy & Dave Ellis, Jane Marshall, Sarah Lowman & hubby, and John Turner. If you would like to sponsor the team please pop your donation in an envelope and write on the front whether you would like it to go to Little Bears, School or a 50:50 split between the two. All sponsorship to Mrs Hopkins by the end of June please.
Sports Night Bar & BBQ – 16th July weather dependent.
Lost property found after the fete:
A black plastic piece which looks like it may be part of a gazebo
A child’s star shaped hairband;
A dark grey Zara cardigan. Items held in the office for safekeeping.
Use of our swimming pool
The pool has now been microbiologically tested and a clear result has come back. Please continue to send swimming kit into school each day as the pool is now in use.
Oxford University Research Links
Over the last few days we have welcomed Hei Won, a PhD research student at Oxford University, into school. Hei Won is undertaking a reading study to clarify how children read and organise words in their minds and has been working with our Year 4 and Year 5 pupils. Pupils enjoyed working with Hei Won and found the activities both interesting and fun. It is a priviledge to have been approached by Oxford University to participate in this research study; our pupils may be able to help pupils of the future.
Partnership Cricket Tournament
Congratulations to our cricket team at the cricket tournament this week. Here is a tournament report wriiten by Robbie Scragg and Ben Drake:
On the 16th June, 9 cricketers went to Ewelme to play kwik cricket at the Watlington Partnership Cricket Tournament. Stadhampton played Watlington first, then played Ewelme.

Newsletter No 17 / 11th June 2010
Welcome back to everyone and in particular to Madam Brookes, who returns to school this week!
New Parent Governor
The Governing Body is very pleased to announce the appointment of Sara Wright as a new parent governor with immediate effect. Sara was the only person to put her name forward, following the resignation of Carl Mannering, so there is no requirement to hold an election! Sara has been very involved with the school over the last three years as PTA Chair and will be a valuable asset to the Governing Body.
Learning Platform
We are currently working with Research Machines in order to supply new parents with user names and passwords so that they may access the Learning Platform and individual letters will be sent to those parents as soon as possible, explaining what the LP is and how to access it. We have recently updated the calendar of events and also added a copy of the Summer/Autumn lunch menus.
Nit Alert
We are grateful to a parent for letting us know that their child had nits, which have now been treated. We would be grateful if everyone could check their child(ren’s) hair this weekend and treat if necessary, so that this problem does not spread further.
PTA Message
Summer Fete 12th June - keep everything crossed for good weather......
Thank you to those who have donated goodies and returned raffle tickets so far. Any last minute donations or return of tickets may be brought into school on Friday or please phone Sara on 07831 727764 to arrange when to drop them off. Please ensure all your raffle ticket stubs are returned by Friday morning as we will not have time after that to check and include them.
Budding football players – we need people over 16 to be goalies for 20 mins or so on the ‘Beat the Goalie’ stall so please come along on the day and do a stint on the stall. You might not have made it to the World Cup but you can still do your bit for England!
Homemade cakes - please bring your delicious homemade cakes along to the Fete on Saturday any time from 11.30 until 1.30pm.
All cress animal and umbrella competition entries need to be entered by 2.30pm at the Fete; entry fee is 50p.
Gazebos – if anyone has a spare gazebo to keep off the sunshine drizzle (!) we would be very grateful if you would bring it along between 1130 and 1300 to school on Saturday to set it up and then collect at 4pm.
Chiltern Chase 13th June – so far I have heard from the following runners who are running on behalf of Little Bears, the School, or both. Please sponsor them to keep them going; forms can be found at school. The runners so far are: Nathan Manzie, Marc Oakley, Karen Amery, Nige Wright, Lucy & Dave Ellis, Hayley McMahon, Jane Marshall, Julie Pattison, Karen and/or Dave Cove, and Debbie Bradford. Apologies if I have missed anyone. See you there on Sunday.
