Newsletter 21th June 2019
This month we will be looking at the following values:
- Wisdom
- Self-control
- Confidence
Dear Parents,
The children have started to learn the moves for the production and it promises to be very entertaining!
A tummy bug is still going round the school for the moment so please can we remind everyone that when a child is sick (vomiting/diarrhoea), he/she needs to stay at home for 48 h. This is really important to stop the spreading of the virus. Please refer to the NHS recommendation: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/diarrhoea-and-vomiting/
Finally, a reminder about Mr Griffin's visit on Friday 28th from 9.00 am.
- Attendance
Attendance for this week is 94.32 %.
- IMPS
Today, Year 5 and 6 visited the JR hospital to learn some first aid and how to prevent or avoid injury through the IMPS programme (Injury Minimisation programme for Schools).
- Visitors
The FSU were lucky to meet two builders this week. Mrs Walters who specialises in Maintenane and Mr Lehane who builds houses. The children definitely had lots of questions!
- Lockdown Drill
As you all know, we had a lockdown drill on Monday morning and the children were brilliant and very quiet! It allowed us to ascertain what we could improve on and it was a very useful exercise. We will try to fit another drill before the end of term using a different scenario so the children familiarise themselves with different situations. Well done everyone!
- Oxfordshire County Music
If your child is interested in learning an instrument, please contact the Oxfordshire Music Service. Tel: 01865 816990. To have a quicker response for wind instruments, you can also email Kate Roberts: kate.roberts@oxfordshire.
- Bank Holiday in May 2020
Please note that the Monday Bank holiday on 4th May 2020 has been nationaly postponed to the Friday 8th May to coincide with the 75th Anniversary of VE Day Celebrations.

Open Morning Friday 28th June
The PTA will be providing refreshments and selling pre-loved school uniform at the Meet the Headteacher and Open Morning. We have lots of pinafore and school logo jumpers so come and grab a bargain and be prepared for next term. We will also have on display some of the items that have been purchased by the PTA this year and are already being used in the classrooms to enhance the children’s learning.
Sports Day Friday 28th June
As usual the PTA will be selling refreshments at sports day – soft drinks, ice lollies as well as the infamous fruit punch!
Coffee Church Friday 5th July
The next Coffee Church is on Friday 5th July from 3.15pm and the PTA will again provide the refreshments. The children all had a great time at the 1st Coffee Church with craftwork, storytelling and singing, so come and join in the fun.
Toy Collection
The PTA are collecting pre-loved toys in good condition to be used for our fundraising. If you have any that you would like to donate, we would be most grateful, please leave at reception for the PTA to collect.
Easy Fund Raising
Don’t forget if you’re internet shopping or even booking a holiday online have a look at doing it through the Easy Fund-Raising site. A percentage of your total spend from 0.5% to 6% depending on the company will be donated to the school. 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 or download the app.
