Dear parents,

Soccer Squirts
Neil is delighted that he will be able to run an after school soccer squirts club in the summer term for children in Nursery and Reception. This will be on Thursdays at 3.30 We are trying to get an idea of numbers so if you think your child would like to join this fun activity please let either the office or Neil know. Back to top

Healthy Schools

We are hoping to be awarded the gold Healthy Schools Award this term. You have helped towards this by encouraging some of the following activities :walking to school whenever possible, providing your child with a healthy lunch and fruit snack for playtime, providing a water bottle for drinks throughout the day, helping with the playground fund
It has been suggested that we look into buying some form of shed for parents to leave their children?s bikes and scooters as many children enjoy coming to school that way. Please would you let one of the Healthy Schools Task group know if you would use such a facility?they are?Mrs Pegler, Mrs. Drumm, Miss Verhoef and Mrs. Pritchard
If you have any more ideas of how to involve the children with the wider community we would love to hear from you. Back to top

Uniform

As usual the children are looking very smart in their uniforms. Please would you check PE bags to make sure everything still fits. The majority of children in the school wear the correct uniform and it would be a real achievement if it could be 100%. The sales are on at the moment so it might be a good time to look for those new shoes and other bargains.
Remember to name all clothing?teachers are not able to return clothes to their owners if they are not named. Back to top

Reading Club

It?s lovely to see so many of you at the before school reading club. For new parents this is an opportunity to come in out of the cold before school starts and read books with your child. We use the Community Room and overspill into the hall if necessary. Reading club is from 8.30 ? 8.50 ? just come into school via the main entrance. Teachers collect children from the Community Room and take them into class in time to open the door at 8.55 for the start of school. For next week only the Community Room will not be available for reading club but there should be plenty of space in the hall. Back to top

Cake Sales

These will start again on Friday 23rd January with Miss Tyrrell?s class.. The other dates are 6th February for Mrs. Brooker?s class, 27th February for Mrs. Wood?s class, 12th March for Miss Gailer?s class and 26th March for Miss Margrie?s class. Last term we raised over £220 and hope to beat that this time. Please bring your cakes on the day. We will need 3 or 4 parents who can come in at 3pm to set up and help sell the cakes. Please let your child know if you can help. We will use the money raised for the Healthy Schools ideas. Back to top

Clubs

We are pleased to have so many clubs going on? dance on Monday at lunchtime, recorder club on Tuesday at lunchtime, [if your child belongs to this remember to send in the recorder that day.] choir on Thursday at lunchtime and drama on Wednesday after school.
Gardening Club will restart after half term on Thursdays after school. If you are able to help please let Miss Gailer know. A couple of volunteers would be very welcome.
After School Football - Bracknell Town Football Club will be running this on Tuesdays after school. You have already had a letter from them.
Soccer Squirts begins again at lunchtime on Friday 16th January. Back to top

School Dinners

A school meal costs £1.27. Calypso drinks are 31p, milk is 15p.
If your child brings a packed lunch containing a yoghurt, please ensure that you include a spoon as the school kitchen only have enough to cater for school dinners.
All children have access to water at lunch time. If you want your child to have something else please make sure that it is not a fizzy drink.


Yours sincerely.
