Drugs discussion

Many thanks to Peter Kirby who lead a fascinating talk here at school last week. Only a handful of parents attended but those who came felt it was very worthwhile.

PTFA Christmas Fete – a week on Friday!

It’s that time of year to ask for your support at our Christmas Fete on 4^th December 6 – 8 p.m. We need toys, books, tombola prizes (tins, packets, bottles, sweets) raffle prizes and of course cakes nearer the time. (No bric-a-brac stall this year). Anyone who can volunteer for a stall or to help set up would be much appreciated. A template of a small basket for the children’s tombola is coming home today and all the children are invited to make it and fill it with sweets. We hope that there will be a stall full!

Extra swim

Mrs. Rouse’s and Mr. Holland’s classes will have another extra swim next Wednesday afternoon (as well as Friday) to make up for missed lessons.

Children in Need

You will be pleased to know that the non-uniform day raised £251 for the charity. Pudsey will be pleased!

Road Crossing on Barton Street

Mrs. Ealand will not be on duty tomorrow (Thurs) and the police are unable to help with crossing. Please remind your children about safe crossing  procedures.

Poppy Appeal

Thank you to all who supported the British Legion this year - £37.73 was collected.

Anyone like gardening?

No one replied to our enquiry last week and I hoped that a second request may just find someone who could help. We have a lot of outside space around the school which does get overgrown as we cannot keep on top of it. If you know someone who enjoys gardening, clearing and tidying we could certainly make use of them! We look forward to hearing from all keen volunteers.

Barnados Boxes

50 new boxes have been sent home already this year and there are still people waiting. A new batch has been ordered and should be here within a week.

Pantomime – Roses Theatre

This year the PTFA has again generously agreed to help reduce the price of the tickets for all the children to attend. The price will now be just £4 per child. The dates have been altered so that we can fit all of the children into the Theatre.

3^rd Dec. a.m. Reception and Year 1 children.

7^th Dec. a.m. Year 6 and Mr. Fisher’s Y5 children.

10^th Dec. a.m. Y2, Y3, Y4 and Mr. Holland’s Y5 class.

As the performance finishes late please can all the children bring a packed lunch on the day. Children receiving free meals will have a packed lunch provided for them on their return from the Panto.

Christmas Lights

To coincide with the turning on of the Christmas lights in Town this weekend (29^th), the Churches Together in Tewkesbury have planned a Family Fun Event in the Methodist Church at the Cross from 3 – 4.30 p.m. There will be crafts, quiz trail, story-telling and refreshments – and it’s all free!
