Nene Infant and Nursery School and Ramnoth Junior School
Newsletter – April 2015
Welcome back to school after the Easter holidays. As we start the Summer Term we hope for sunny
weather as we get ready for many different events at the Nene Infant and Nursery and Ramnoth
Junior Schools; more details will follow.

For Sale/For Summer
Just to remind you that we will have purple summer dresses in stock in the Nene office
again next week.
We also have water bottle tops and replacement water bottles for sale at Nene that can be
used at both schools and again request that parents make sure water bottles are in school
each day. This way we can ensure children have access to drinks throughout the day.
Thank you.
Easter Club
I am delighted to say that we had a second fantastic Easter Club for Y6 and Y5 pupils who came
into school to do both revision sessions ready for SATS but also lots of fun activities. The feedback
from staff and children was that it was an enjoyable end to the holidays!
“Easter club was fun and exciting and the staff were brilliant, beautiful and really good fun!” Toma
“I liked learning French because it was fun and interesting. I liked making salt dough and went home
and made some with my mum!” Wiktoria
PE Kit!
Punctuality!
Please remember to send your
child’s PE kit to school. A pair of
shorts, a t-shirt and trainers or
plimsolls in a named bag will make
sure that your child is ready to take part in PE.
In line with our drive to have
improved attendance we
continue to ask that children arrive
punctually to start the day. Doors open at 8.50am
and we start teaching at 9.00am. Children who
arrive late miss this important introduction!
Moving On & Moving Up!
Thomas Clarkson will have a one-week induction for our Year 6 children from 13th – 17th July and
Neale Wade will have a two-week induction for our Year 6 children from 29th June – 10th July.
This gives us the opportunity to let all children have a longer transition time in their new class so
that they are happy, confident and ready for the new school year. All children will return to their
current class for the last few days of term. More details will follow nearer the time!
Ready for SATs—Breakfast Club
for Year 6!
Another Parking Plea!
Please take care to make sure that
when parking you are not obstructing
any driveways or entrances for others.
Thank you.
During the week
commencing Monday 11th May
Breakfast Club will be free of charge
for children in Year 6!
Get ready for SATs by enjoying a healthy breakfast!
Preparing for the weather!
Although we have recently had some lovely warm weather there is really no guarantee that it will
last! Therefore please:




Send your child with a coat each day, the weather can change suddenly and we do like the
children to spend playtimes out in the fresh air if possible
Send your child with a hat which they can wear on hot days
Make sure that your child’s water bottle is in school so that they can have access constantly
to a drink
Use sun cream - unfortunately we cannot apply sun cream within school.
Clubs
Our after-school clubs will continue again this term. We will be looking to see if there are any
spaces as many clubs do have a waiting list and will let parents know if places are available.
