PE Kit & Swimming Kit

Please could ALL pupils have both swimming kit and PE kit in school every day now until the end of term. We hope that the swimming pool will be in use from next week and there will also be frequent practices for Sports Evening, so please ensure that your child(ren) are prepared with both kits in school. Thank you.

 

Thank You

A huge thank you to Mr and Mrs Burnell and Mrs Green for working so hard with the children who attend Gardening Club. The gardening club section of the school grounds looks amazing and the crops of potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, sweetcorn etc look like they are flourishing. Thank you also for brightening up the front of the school with hanging baskets and for keeping them watered!

Year 6 Treat on Monday 10 July

We have arranged for Year 6 pupils to visit the Crazy Bear Farm Shop on Monday 10 July for an end of year leavers treat. They will be accompanied by Mrs Hopkins and Mrs Wilkin. We would  very much appreciate a donation of £3 please from each family towards the cost of this special treat. Cash or cheque please to Stadhampton Primary School. Thank you.

 

Forest School Year 6 – Thursday 13 July

Year 6’s last Forest School session will be in the morning of Thursday 13^th July.  As in previous years, we would like to mark the occasion by staying at Forest School for a slightly extended session, so that Y6 can have lunch cooked on the fire (hot dogs, marshmallows etc).  This would mean the children would return to school by 1pm and would not need a packed lunch or school meal on that day.

 

We would very much appreciate a contribution of £1.50 per child to cover the cost of lunch.  Please return this to Melanie Gravett or the school office as soon as possible and also let us know about any special dietary requirements.

 

Primary School Health Team Newsletter for Term 3 has been added to the ‘Useful Links’ section of the school website this week. Please have a read!
