This Week in School

Many thanks for your patience and kindness in school this week. We have been a little short-staffed and as such, we have all been wearing new and different "hats" in school. Your children may have told you stories about being taught by teachers from other classes, or being helped by different people in the dining hall.

We pride ourselves on our amazing ability to pull together when things go a little wrong. We have all multitasked this week, enabling us to remain as a whole school unit, without the need to ask for help from outside agencies. This has helped to keep staff & children safe in our own school environment.

Tying a Shoelace

Please could we ask that you try to teach your children to tie shoe laces if they would like their child to wear shoes with laces. It takes a long time to tie laces on trainers for PE when lots of children need help.

Collective Worship

This week’s collective worship included the story, The Selfish Crocodile on Monday – well done to our Reception children who took part in their first whole-school assembly. Thursday’s collective worship focussed on International Women’s Day.

PTA Film Night

The PTA will be organising a film night for Years 4, 5 and 6 will be on 31^st March, straight after school. More details to follow.

Year 1 Visit to Lackford Lakes

On Thursday 31st March, the Year 1 children will be going to Lackford Lakes. There is a letter giving more details about the trip. This will be sent out next Monday, when we hope to have Mrs Fiddes back in school with us. Please look out for the letter in your child's book bag next week.

Red Nose Day 18th March

We will be celebrating Red Nose Day this year, by simply wearing something Red to school and bringing in a donation (minimum £1.00) for this total non-uniform day. The Year 6 school Council members will be selling Red Noses in school from Monday 14th March, at breaktime. They are £1.50 each

Hands On Science

On Tuesday 22nd March, we will be having some workshops here in school. Our Year 6 children will be learning about Dissection & Circulation, Year 4 will be learning about Teeth & our Year 3 will be looking at Healthy Bodies. We hope they all have an interesting and "hands on" day.

Dinner Payments

For those children who have a dinner debt, a pink letter has been sent home with them today, please look for it in your child's bag.

Could we please ask that you keep on top of your dinner payments for your children? Please try to pay for the dinners at the beginning of the week, so that your account does not build up too high. Please click below to go to the Suffolk County Council website to pay for school dinners. Thank you

Breakfast Club Payments

Please can we ask that you pay your Breakfast club in advance, each week? Some of these debts are quite large, please pay your invoice as you receive it. Thank you

FREE Tables & Chairs

You may have seen the stacks of tables and chairs in the school playground. Please do come & help yourselves, if you can make use of them. They will sadly go to the tip if they cannot be rehomed.

Layer Marney Tower

Our Year 5 children will be visiting Layer Marney Tower on the 29th March, for an Egyptian day out. Many thanks to those who have sent the permission slip back already.

This is a new venue for us, we hope the children enjoy the day.

Sporting Fixtures

We have various sporting fixtures coming up over the next few weeks. These are normally for the years 3,4,5 & 6 children, and are only for a few children from each year group. Please do look out in your child's bag, for a colourful letter. Thank you

2nd Choice Dinners Sign Up

We understand that some parents are unsure as to where to go for the 2nd choice sign up for their child's school dinners. Please use the link below, it will take you directly to the section that you need to complete for the vegetarian options for dinner in school. We do only check this section of the website once a week, on a Monday morning, so please do make sure you have signed your child up by Sunday night. Thank you
