Attendance
The winner of the attendance certificate for week ending 15 April 2011 was Red Class, with an attendance of 99.1 per cent. Well done Red Class. The overall attendance for the school was 93.7 per cent.

Sunhats or caps
As the weather is getting warmer and the sun stronger it is very important that the children wear a sunhat/cap when they are playing out at school. Please send your child with a named hat/cap that they can keep at school. It is advisable that children do not wear open-toed sandals because of risk of injury whilst playing. Also please apply suncream to your child on sunny days before you bring them to school. Children must also wear clothes that cover their shoulders.

If anyone has any spare sunhats/caps could you please donate these to school – please see either myself or Ms Harrison. Thank you.

School clothing order
If you would like to order any items of school clothing for your child a school order will be placed with the clothing company on the 16 May 2011. Please place any completed order forms with payment into the black box in your child’s class before this date. 

Jewellery
With the exception of wristwatches and ear studs children should not wear jewellery to school. Those children wearing ear studs must either remove them or cover them with surgical tape during lessons for physical education and on other occasions when the teacher believes that the wearing of studs may cause health and safety problems for the children.

Dinner Money
If you wish to pay dinner money for the first half of the summer term (3-27 May 2011) this amounts to £33.25.
If you wish to pay dinner money for the second half of the summer term (6 June – 19 July 2011) this amounts to £56.00.
