Dear Parents and Carers

At lunchtime the beautiful sunshine heralded the start of what will hopefully be a lovely weekend - it really felt like Spring had sprung. Hopefully we’re in for a weekend of more sunshine and just a few showers! 

 

Spring Walk
Unfortunately Spring didn’t get the memo that we were having our spring walk on Tuesday - but the children still had great fun in the mud and puddles! Thank you to the PTA for arranging it and fingers crossed that the summer walk will be a much drier occasion!

 

Piano Recital
This week pianists from across the school held a concert for their parents. It was a beautiful afternoon listening to some very talented musicians. I was amazed by their calm, confident manner. Even when faced with a technical hiccup they showed resilience and carried on. Bravo!

 

School Lunch Prices
Unfortunately, due mainly to the rising food costs, our caterers have increased the price of school meals and we have had to increase the daily charge to £3 a day. This will start after Easter on Monday 8th April

 

Mrs Dean
Mrs Dean and her family had some lovely news this week when she welcomed her first grandchild! Congratulations Mrs Dean, we hope you are enjoying the nanna life!

 

Attendance 
Common winter Illnesses have taken their toll this week with many children not quite 100% Mrs Dean is running her own pharmacy at lunchtime!  A reminder of the NHS website that will help you to decide if your child is well enough to come into school or if they need to stay at home.  Is my child to ill for school

 

Childhood Ailments
This is the time of year we often see an increase in other childhood conditions too. Please be vigilant for head lice, threadworm etc which can spread very easily in a school if not controlled. Advice can be found here https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/head-lice-and-nits/ https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/threadworms/
