We have been asked to let you know about a Pet Service which is being held at Wheathill Church on Sunday 17th September at 6pm Please bring along your children, with their pets (not the wild or poisonous ones, thank you!)

This service of Thanksgiving and Blessings is for our very Special Companions. Refreshments will be available after the service and all are welcome to attend.

If you would like any further information, please call Joyce on 07437 481034.

There are roadworks next week at Upper Netchwood, between Monkhopton and Ditton Priors. from 5th to 7th September. We have liaised with Severn Trent and they have confirmed that the road closure will only be in place between 09:00 to 15:00 to allow school and commuter traffic through.

Due to the number of events which have taken place in school and at the Church this week, Well Done assembly tomorrow will be for the children only. They will be given their certificates and will be able to bring these home.

Pippa has asked us to advise you that there will be changes to the menu next week.

Unfortunately, her delivery of Jacket Potatoes did not arrive so there will be no jacket potato option on the menu next week and this will be replaced by a vegetarian pasta bake. If you have booked a jacket potato for your child and they do not want the pasta alternative, please could you log onto ParentPay by tomorrow to change the choice of meal.

On Tuesday, there is a special menu of Hot Dogs or cheese and baked bean plait. We are unable to change the menu in ParentPay, therefore, if your child would like a hot dog please select option 1 and if your child would like the baked bean plait please select option 2. Both options will be served with chips and peas and carrots. Sandwiches will also be available to pre-book. The pudding options which the children select on the day are chocolate muffin, yoghurt or fruit.

On Thursday, there is a special menu of Chicken Goujons or Cheese Pasta Bake. We are unable to change the menu in ParentPay, therefore, if your child would like a Chicken Goujons please select option 1 and if your child would like the Cheese Pasta Bake please select option 2. Both options will be served with peas and sweetcorn, bread or pasta. Sandwiches will also be available to pre-book. The pudding options which the children select on the day are Fruit flapjack, jelly, yoghurt or fruit.

The children have arrived safely back in school following their residential in Arthog. They have all had a lovely time.

There will be no Well Done Assembly this Friday 7th July as Mr Harley is on a residential trip with Years 5 and 6.

The children have arrived safely at Arthog and are excited for the next few days.

We are thrilled to announce that thanks to Carla and Louise, FOBCS are alive and kicking again, and the refreshments at Sports Day raised £120 for the school.

We are holding an informal, relaxed meeting in school on Monday 3rd July at 6pm to discuss ideas for future fundraising and we would like to encourage parents/grandparents to come and join us – as an active FOBCS does need everyone’s involvement.

So please come along and let’s see what we can do to work together to bring FOBCS to life!
