Friday 14 March is Sport Relief Day. We are planning to hold a cake sale with all proceeds going towards Sport Relief. We would appreciate contributions for this – please leave cakes in the hall by the kitchen. Children should bring in a small amount of money – around £2 to £4 would be fine.

FunRaisers meeting on Tuesday 11 March at 7.30pm in the History room. All parents are welcome to attend.

Children may bring in their own balls to play with at break if they wish. However, these should not be kept in the changing rooms but another safe area which they can discuss with their form teachers. Please do not give them hockey, cricket, squash or other hard balls to bring to school.

The current provision for match teas is squash, fruit, baked crisps/low fat crisps, cereal bars and chocolate covered biscuits. After playing sport, children need water, salt and sugar. Of course, parents may choose to provide a snack or tea for their own children instead.

Children should have their own recorders in school but if they need to borrow a school recorder there are antiseptic wipes for their use in the music room.

A lilac Corsa, registration RF56 JGY, parked at the edge of the school car park (near the rubbish bins) was damaged on 29 February 2008. If you have any information on this please contact the school reception. Reception staff will give you the owner’s contact details.
