Maths Day
As part of our maths day on Monday, we had a maths treasure hunt around the school. The children thoroughly enjoyed looking for the very well hidden clues!
PTA
It’s the end of another busy term and the PTA would like to say a massive thank you to everyone for supporting the fundraising efforts.
Easy Fund Raising
Don’t forget if you’re internet shopping or even booking a holiday on line have a look at doing it through the Easy Fund-Raising site as money will be donated to the school from 0.5% to 6% of your spend. It’s easy to do and won’t cost you a penny, let friends and family know about it as well. See the link below:

The Launton Village Players
We wanted to acknowledge a very kind donation of £50 from the Launton Village Players who produced this year's Panto "Sleeping Beauty but not that one!" at The Cooper School. Mrs Roberts (our music teacher) was part of the cast and played the "not very nice" sister beautifully! Thank you for a great Panto and your generosity.
