Dear Parents/Carers,

from the school office.
LOST PROPERTY
We have a number of items in lost
property. Most of these are items are
named! If your child/children have lost
any items please look through lost
property.
Who thought SATs could be so much fun!
Over the week the children in Year 6 have been having all the fun of SATs. They
have worked extremely hard and have sat each paper with a smile and a laugh
(as we knew our Year 6 would!) We know that they will all achieve top results
and feel proud of their attitude; taking on the challenges that arise on their
journey of learning – a fantastic life lesson!
The days started with a buzzing breakfast to get them in the zone; ending with a
celebratory breakfast on Friday morning (thanks to Mrs Pearson – bacon
sandwiches!) Just to note – no breakfast next week!!!
They now continue with more hard work – preparing for their production!!
RECEPTION SHOE BOXES
A huge thank you to everyone that has
donated shoe boxes for the Reception
role play area. They now have enough
shoe boxes for their role play “Shoe
shop”. They even have a real foot
measure as well!

WIG WEDNESDAY
Just a reminder about “Wig Wednesday”.
All parents must enter the school through the
main office and must sign in.
We hope that you have managed to obtain lots
of sponsorship. We welcome everyone to come
and cheer the children on and have fun with us
at this worthwhile fundraising event. This is a
non-uniform day.
Raffle tickets are still available to purchase.
There will be an ice cream van at school. Ice
creams will cost £1.00. If your child/children
would like to purchase an ice cream please put
the money in a sealed named envelope.
DRAMA CLUB PRODUCTION
This term the children will be performing at the New Wolsey Theatre as part
of their Youth Perform Week. The production is “Mystery at the Museum”.
Cliff Lane Drama Club will perform on Friday 3rd July 7.30pm. Please go
online to buy your tickets now as these performances do sell out quickly.
www.wolseytheatre.co.uk
On Thursday 21st May the children will be going to Ipswich Museum to get
some information for the drama piece. In order for your child to visit the
museum permission slips must be sent back. All permission slips need to be
sent back by 3rd July at the very latest.
THE GREAT NORTH SWIM
Miss Read’s class took on a real challenge this week. In swimming they
were asked to swim and see how many widths they could do in 4 minutes.
This was to emulate the stamina required of the swimmers that take part in
the Great North run.
SAINSBURY ACTIVE KIDS
The highest swam was 18 which was very impressive!
A huge thank you to everyone that has given in
Sainsbury’s Active Kids vouchers. We are
nowhere near our target! We really would like to
collect as many vouchers as possible. By
collecting the vouchers we are able to order
some fantastic equipment which the children
really benefit from. So please keep collecting.
We only have a couple of weeks until we place
our order. Thank you.
GRIDCLUB
LATENESS TO SCHOOL
Children that are persistently late for school are
being monitored. It is vital that children are on
time for school and accompanied by an adult to
the main school office if they are late, to explain
why.
This week again we have had a number of
children that have been collected from school
late. School finishes at 3.10pm. Please ensure
that your child/children are collected on time.
There is a website to use which is free to help with all curriculum subjects. It is great
fun and full of educational games to play. The website address is: www.gridclub.com
