Update from the PTFA

The next event on the PTA calendar is the quiz night which is on Friday the

14^th May from 7.30pm.Tickets are £8.00 per person and teams can be a

 maximum of 8 people. Ticket price includes a ploughman’s supper; please

 bring along your own drinks and nibbles. We would be really grateful if you could

donate a pudding on the night.

Following this we are looking to put up a pitch at the Cranbrook Fun day on

 June the 6^th. Further information on what we will be selling is still to come as we

 are being directed by the event organisers.  Volunteers are needed to help setup

 the pitch and to assist in the manning of the area for the afternoon. We are

looking to fill the time in hourly slots so if you can help then please let me

 know, mobile number is 07894041662, or leave a message for me in the school

office. The hours to be covered are 12.00 till 5pm. We are hoping to be selling

drinks and cakes, strawberries and cream that sort of thing, so may need

donations but until we hear back nothing has been agreed. Please watch

 for more information as it becomes available and a further plea for help.

OAP Lunches, volunteers are required to help serve the OAP lunches on a

Wednesday.  The times are 12.45 till 2.15pm. If you can help please contact

me on my mobile or the school office. The more helpers we get the bigger the

 rotation time, so if you can spare an hour once every few weeks, everyone

involved would be very grateful.

Thanks Lesley

Shopping Vouchers

Thanks to everyone who has brought in Tesco, Sainsbury and Flora vouchers

 over the past few weeks.  The Flora campaign has now ended and we have  an

 excellent £50 in the pot to spend on cooking equipment.  Tesco’s last

vouchers will be issued on 9^th May with Sainsbury’s on 8^th June.  We have done

 really well again this year, it’s amazing to see how much we spend on food and

 drink, and will be able to buy many ‘extras’ to make the children’s learning even

more fun!

School magazine – Primary Eye

We are thinking about the next issue of Primary Eye and would like to invite

 you to let us know of any special achievements/activities etc. that your children

have taken part in that deserve a special mention.  Please see Judy Skellern by

the end of May if you would like to be included in the July issue.

Sale for Malawi

We will be holding a sale to raise money for Kambwiri, our link school in

Malawi, after school on Friday 21^st May and will be pleased to receive donations

of items to sell on the day (toys, children’s books etc.). Thanks to everyone

who has supported us so far and we look forward to seeing you then!

Walk on Wednesday

We have a new winner for the WOW trophy.  King-Smith Class have won the

trophy for Terms 3 and 4).  Many thanks to all those children who have been

 joining in with Walk on Wednesday.  Please remember it is never too late to

 join in.  Help your class win the WOW trophy for the summer term.

Supporting your Child with Literacy

We will be running a FREE Adult Education class on Supporting your Child

with Literacy for 4 weeks after half term, starting on Wednesdays from 9th June

 up to 30th June from 9.15am to 11.45am in the Out of School building.  If you are

interested in this class please contact Judy Skellern, Parent Support

Adviser, on her mobile:  07825 506552 or leave a message at the office.  The

course aims to show you how your child learns reading and writing skills.  Kate

 Crook, the tutor, will give you ideas on how to support your child's learning. 

 Come and join a friendly group of parents and have fun learning.

Parent Zone

Parents Forum is being re-launched as 'Parents Zone'.   The next meeting will be 

on Friday, 14th May from 9.30am to 10.30am in the Out of School Building.  All

parents and carers are invited to come along and find out about this month's

 topic:  'How Teachers Monitor Children's Progress'.  Mr Wibroe will give a short 

talk on this subject and will be available to answer any questions you may

have.  It is always good to welcome new faces at these meetings as well as

welcome back the old ones.   Refreshments and biscuits are served from

 9am so that parents can just come along and have a chat before the meeting

starts.
