Graffham CE Infant School [email protected] Duncton CE Junior School [email protected] This week’s news … Breaking news … this morning’s collection for the Nepal Disaster Fund, together with this week’s cake raffle money, has raised a total of £555 for those in need in Nepal. Thank you VERY MUCH everybody, for your amazing generosity Dodgeball Tournament Last Friday the Junior children took part in a thrilling afternoon of dodgeball. Each house team was divided into two teams and played against the other houses in an exciting competition to see which house would come out on top. All the points were added together and the winning house team was Hazel! Congratulations to all children who took part, it was a busy and active afternoon but great fun was had by all. However, more importantly, the aim of the afternoon was to raise money for the British Heart Foundation and we are extremely proud to announce that we raised a staggering £1,129.55!! This is by far the most we have ever raised. What an achievement. Well done and thank you to all those children and their families who raised money for this event. Ali Fentiman and Kestrel Class at Duncton This week, Miss Ali Fentiman, who teaches Kestrel Class at Duncton has been successful in gaining another teaching job at a new school. Ali has been an extremely valuable member of the Federation for five years and has made a considerable impact not only on her classes, but also on PE across both schools. She will be missed greatly by all staff but we wish her well in the next stage in her career. We must thank Ali for her hard work and high standard of teaching, alongside being a superb member of the school team. The Leadership team and Staffing Committee of the Governing Body will be advertising for a new teacher to join us in September. Helen Martin, Head Teacher ‘Hawking About’ On Friday 15th May, ‘Hawking About’ will be visiting both schools to give us special displays and tell us all about their hawks and owls. If there is any reason why your child should not be present for this display, please do let us know in good time. A letter will be coming home to tell you more about it, but in the meantime please note that we will be asking for a donation of £3 per child to cover the cost of this visit. Forest School Please try to remember that children MUST bring a waterproof jacket in for their Forest School sessions – even if the weather looks fine! Duncton Breakfast Club The Breakfast Club at Duncton is now well established and the number of pupils attending is starting to grow. With Graffham Club being full on most days , remember that you are able to drop Graffham children at Duncton and they will be taken across on Toni’s minibus. The club starts at 8:15 and there will always be a warm welcome if you would like to give it a try. It is helpful to let the office know in advance, but if something crops up, you can just drop off on the day. The cost is £1.50 per day. ‘Match Attacks’ at Duncton In recent weeks we have become aware of the game 'Match Attacks' being played in school at playtimes at Duncton. Part of this has been the trading and swapping of cards which has, in some situations, caused issues between children. We are keen to ensure this does not become a problem within school. As a middle ground, rather than banning the cards completely, we are asking that the Match Attack cards are only brought into school on a Friday, if at all. We are happy for the children to play the game that accompanies the cards on Fridays but we ask that no trading takes place in school. Many thanks. This was found at Duncton last week. We would love to reunite toy and owner! Please let the Duncton office know if you think you may know who it belongs to. Reminder : The Book People Remember that new books are available to order at great prices, in the foyer at both schools. Payments will be collected and ordered books left with the two offices, next Friday 8th May.
