Newsletter 30 - 14th May 2009

Contact Forms Last week your child brought home a letter regarding swine flu and attached was a contact form for parents to complete. Thank you to all parents who have returned the information requested. If you have not yet done so, please return yours to the school office as soon as possible. PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL IF THEY HAVE BEEN SICK IN THE MORNING AS THIS WILL ONLY INCREASE THE SPREAD OF THE BUG TO OTHERS!

Parking Once again, I am having to mention parking issues. Please be more considerate of our neighbours. A disabled driveway was blocked by one of our parents last week and car registration DU03 MOV was parked over the zigzags by the nursery!

PAWS (Parent Association Working For Schools) We had a great turnout at last week’s meeting. It was especially lovely to see some new faces and share new ideas. The next Non-uniform day is planned for 22nd May as listed overleaf. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the committee for agreeing to donate £500 towards further climbing apparatus for the playground. The committee also agreed to work towards raising £2000 to pay for a play long boat for the playground.

4th June—School Closure As listed in the dates overleaf, school will be closed to pupils on 4th June as the building is being used as a Polling Station. I hope that the early notice will enable you to make the necessary arrangements.

Meeting for Year 6 Parents—WEST RUNTON A Meeting has been arranged for parents to receive some important information regarding this forthcoming residential trip. Please make every effort to attend—May 19th at 6pm.

Meeting for Year 5 Parents—3rd June I do hope many of you have noted the date mentioned in previous communication. This meeting is for adults only and will cover the following items:

· 11+
· Secondary Transfer
· Arrangements for Year 6
· Residential Trip
· Sailing
· SATs

Uniform An increasing number of children are coming to school not in uniform. Please make every effort to address this issue if it applies to your child. NB We have many second hand jumpers available free of charge.
