Our Value for October is Autumn Term Newsletter No 7 School Open Day On Thursday 8th October, we had a school Open Day for new and current parents, to showcase the learning experience in our school. We had a steady stream of visitors throughout the day and we would like to thank our Year 6 House Captains for showing them around the school and answering their questions so competently. Thanks also to Hannah Eveleigh and her PTA team for providing refreshments and to Jenny Owen and Cheryl Bailey for their support on the day. The feedback we received was very positive and very complimentary with every visitor expressing praise for the polite and helpful manner of their Year 6 guides. The children thoroughly enjoyed the day and the wide range of activities they were involved in, which included Reception children’s Fruit Salad Day, Year 2’s dragons junk modelling and Year 6’s watercolours on a space theme. Eco News We have now registered with the little green sprouts fundraising scheme for gardening equipment, plants and seeds.

Thank you. http://www.littlegreensprouts.co.uk/ wellesley_park Miss Billing Parents’ Meetings Please note the CHANGE OF DATE FOR the YEAR 6 PARENT MEETING. Due to new commitments that have arisen, it has been necessary to change the Year 6 parents’ meeting from Monday 10th November to Wednesday 12th November. Apologies for any inconvenience. After School Play We are happy for children to enjoy the grounds after school and have already requested that you ensure your children remain in the open area of the field/playground where you can supervise them. Children are not permitted to play in the Reception or Year 1 outdoor play areas after school or to play with school resources. These are tidied away at the end of the school day and are for the children to use in school time only. Calling all last year’s Year 6’s! We now have the CD’s in school for last year’s Year 6 children to collect. One CD has MOB photos on it and the other is of their film ‘School Daze’. We only have enough CDs to distribute one for each child, so please could you pass the word on that they are ready for collection. Children should come to the school office to request them. Many thanks. Fairy and Make a Wish Foundation We have been asked to pass this on:Radio Exe are working with Fairy and Make A Wish Foundation.
