Newsletter No 5 - 7th October 2011

Happy OCTOBER Birthday to: Wyatt Bullock, Benjamin Duke, Sophie Hector, Oliver Lowman, Marcin Skwarek and Ellie Walker.

During OCTOBER we are focusing on RESPONSIBILITY

Old Ink Cartridges
We shall be sending off our collection of used ink cartridges shortly. If you have any used cartridges that you intend to put in the box, we would be grateful if they could be added to our collection as soon as possible, please. Thank you.

P.T.A. News
Look out for the “Bag2school” blue recycling bags in your child’s book bags next week! You can help the P.T.A. raise extra funds by collecting any clean, good quality adult and children’s clothes, shoes, belts, bags, bedding, towels or soft toys. The date of our next collection is at the school on Wednesday 16th November at 9.00am. Extra blue bags can be obtained via the school office, but black bin bags are also welcome.

Plant orders will be arriving in school on Thursday 13th October and will be ready for pick up after school at 3.15pm. Can we remind parents who are bringing cars, to allow other parents/carers to vacate the car park first before picking up their order from in front of the school. Thank you!

Watch out for your children's Christmas Card masterpieces coming home in book bags this week. If you wish you can add to this design (or even create another one!) but please refer to the guidance notes. You may place an order for as many packs of cards as you like. A pack of 12 cards costs just £5.50, additional packs cost £4.50. A pack of 12 gift tags costs £2.50 (and have to be with a card order). To ensure you get your cards, please return artwork, orders and payment to the school office by 14th October. Any queries please see Charlotte Hector or Rowena Dobson.
