Summer Fayre

Dear Parents/Carers,

Our successful Summer Fayre this year raised an amazing £1563 profit for our school.

We have now received the invoice for our 5 picnic tables which are going to be enjoyed by our children for many years to come.

We have purchased lifelong recycled plastic benches at £615 each.

Thank you for attending the fayre and spending your hard-earned pounds and pennies.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

ASC Update

14.7.22

Dear Parents/Carers of children who use After School Club (ASC),

We are very proud to be able to offer our wrap-around care to support working parents. Our ASC team take their role very seriously and work hard to make sure the provision is the best it can be for our children.

Recently, Mrs Thomas (Assistant Headteacher) and I monitored the provision to quality assure the offer. As part of this monitoring, we spent a lot of time talking to the children about the activities and of course the food!

They came up with some good ideas but did appreciate that not everyone likes the same things. We invest money back into ASC to regularly resource the activities that are on offer.

Thank you to the parents who responded to the parent survey. We read each and every comment and where possible, adjust our provision.

We have attached our Autumn 1 ‘snack’ menu to see. It is important to remember that we only offer a ‘snack’ for the children, with the presumption being they will be given their tea when they get home.

It is tricky to generate the time needed to prepare food for so many children, hence we need to keep it as simple as we can.

We have incorporated snacks that we know children love, but also added some new items based on the feedback we have been given.

We are always open to suggestions and thank you for your continued support.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Fun in the sun

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are so lucky to have a continuation of the lovely, sunny weather this week.

Please ensure you apply sun lotion to your child before they come into school (School staff are not allowed to apply sun lotion) and make sure they have a named water bottle to keep hydrated.

It is also a good idea to send them in with a hat (again please put a name label in it!).

We have opened up some classrooms to allow children the option to come into school at lunchtime should they get too hot.

We never complain about the sun but do understand that rising temperatures can come with warnings that we have to abide by.

Please help us, to help your children feel comfortable in school this week.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

ASC Homework offer

Dear Parents/Carers of children who attend After School Club,

We are delighted to be able to offer wrap-a-round care at our school, so that working parents can have the flexibility they need.

We want to let you know that during every slot for After School Club, there will be opportunity for the children to complete homework including spellings, reading and topic linked activities.

It maybe that you would rather that homework was completed at home with you and of course that is fine. We will not be forcing children to do their homework but will be asking them each day if they would like to have time to get it done.

Clearly the team will not be able to carry out larger pieces of homework with them e.g. making a castle, but they will be able to support with daily homework.

Please talk to your children about this option, as it will be up to them and we will not force them.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook
