Newsletter Summer Term Number 1 Wednesday 7th May 2008
Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope you all enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend as well as the now distant Easter/ Spring holidays!
Lunchtime Supervisors Needed
As Mrs Bussy is leaving at half term and Mrs Radnor is now on maternity leave, we need two new Lunchtime Supervisors to start as soon as possible. The hours of work are from 11:50am to 1:05pm, Monday to Friday during term time only. The rate of pay works out at approximately £6.50 per hour. If you are interested then please contact me for further details.
Charitable Ventures
Many thanks to everyone who supported the Readathon event. Im delighted to inform you that we raised a total of £338, which was sent off to CLIC and the Roald Dahl Foundation.
Id like to remind you to keep bringing in any small loose change you can spare. This can be placed in our collection box in reception. Each term the money is used to support the education of a young orphan in India. Her name is Seema Kumari and even small donations go a long way towards helping her to achieve a brighter future many thanks.

SATs / Assessments next week!
Id be surprised if its escaped your notice but next week is Assessment Week! This includes the very important Statutory Assessment Tests (SATs) that all Year 2 and Year 6 children throughout England will be taking. Our pupils have been working hard in preparation for the tests but I hope theyre not feeling too worried or stressed soon it will be all over!
All we ask is that each child tries his/her best in all of the tests. Some early nights and a good breakfast everyday will help them to do this!
