Just a quick reminder, that there is no Well Done Assembly tomorrow.

We have been informed this afternoon that Kath is unable to hold the Creative Arts After School Club tomorrow and she sends her apologies for this. If you require your child to go into Care Club please contact Mrs Boxall on the Care Club e-mail address.

Please could we kindly remind parents that ALL Care Club bookings need to be made before noon on Thursday for the following week. The sessions fill up quickly and we cannot accept last minute bookings.

Many thanks

Stephanie Boxall

Good Morning,

This is just a reminder that children can wear red, white and blue clothing, or royalty themed clothing, on Friday to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III.

We are hoping that the children can have their lunch outside on the playground as a treat, but this is weather dependent.

Pippa has asked us to let you know of a change in menu next Tuesday. The 2 main choices will be Pizza and Vegetable Chilli. Unfortunately, we cannot amend the menu in ParentPay to reflect this change. If your child would like Pizza please select the Chicken Hotpot option and if they would like the Vegetable Chilli please select the Vegetable Chow Mein option. As always, there will also be the choice of Jacket Potato and Cheese or Ham sandwich.

Little Explorers needs OUR help!

We would like to support Pre-School with their fundraising as they are wanting to develop and resource the new outdoor area that they can now use.  Since they had their extension built, the children had very little outdoor learning and play space.  We work very closely with Little Explorers as they are a vital facility for the community, and as we have so much outdoor space, and with the recent removal of the rotten, old adventure playground we have offered this space to pre-school.  But it is an empty plot of land at the moment and Pre-School need resources – so we want to help them as much as possible.  Their current fundraiser is to ‘Grow a Sunflower’:

Please can all care club bookings for the first week back (w/c 17th April) be emailed to the care club address before midday on Thursday next week (29th March).

Many thanks

We have had a couple of PE tops go amiss following Friday’s after-school session.  Can you please check your child’s top to see if it has got someone else’s name in it please?

There will be a service of Morning Praise at St John the Baptist Church, Ditton Priors on Mothering Sunday 19th March at 9.45am. Potted plants will be given to Mothers, Grandmothers and Godmothers.

As previously advised, due to the weather conditions last week, the catering delivery for the kitchen did not take place and, therefore, Pippa has had to make changes to the menu for Thursday. If you have booked Keralan Chicken Curry for your child they will be having sausages and herby diced potatoes, the cauliflower and sweet potato masala will be served as planned. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Can we please remind parents that if children are bringing in a snack for morning play it should be a piece of fruit or vegetables, no snack bars please.  All infant children do get offered a piece of fruit from within school, and under 5s are offered a carton of milk.

Due to the weather conditions last week, the catering delivery for the kitchen did not take place and, therefore, Pippa has had to make changes to the menu tomorrow. If you have booked chicken noodle stir fry for your child they will be having chicken pie and if they were booked to have vegetable lasagne they will be having Chinese rice. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Due to weather and road conditions we are closed today, as is Little Explorers Pre School. stay safe.

We would just like to draw parents attention to the regulations for Escooters and other powered vehicles:

It is illegal to use a powered transporter:

• on a public road without complying with a number of legal requirements, which potential users will find very difficult
• in spaces that are set aside for use by pedestrians, cyclists, and horse-riders; this includes on the pavement and in cycle lanes
