Jubilee Picnic and School Fayre
It is our Jubilee Picnic and School Fayre next Wednesday
17th June. This will be a non-uniform day, and parents are
welcome to join us on the field from 12pm. IMPORTANT – if
your child did NOT order a school packed lunch from the
kitchen yesterday, they must bring a picnic lunch on the day.
If parents are not able to join us, you may wish your child to
have a small amount of money to spend later in the
afternoon during the Fayre. Purses MUST be named and
handed to the class teacher in the morning for safekeeping.
Schedule of Events
11:45am
Defibrillator
At Tuesday’s assembly the school was donated a
defibrillator by the Lloyds bank team in Woodley. It was
through their links with our governor, Mr Holloway, the
bank’s charity work and their association with Arrhythmia
Alliance that the school received the lifesaving device.
At the same assembly, the bank’s charity fund received £300
from the school as a contribution to the cost of the
defibrillator. The donation came from the school’s success at
the Green park challenge; a sum given to Aldryngton for
being the top placed primary school! Following the
presentation many staff members were trained in the
defibrillator’s use.
We would like to thank the staff at the Woodley branch of
Lloyd’s bank for their support as such first aid items are
expensive. We hope never to have to use it of course, but
feel safer in the knowledge that we now have one should we
need it.
Blue tit family
Just in time for the half term week, the blue tit family vacated
their nest box, taking their first flight at about 10am on
Saturday 23rd May. Before their departure, Mrs Stewart’s
eco-nature club monitored the number of parent visits to the
nest box and were amazed at how many visits were taking
place per day. The group’s rough calculations estimated the
parents would visit the box about 3,600 times per week !
Mrs Smith/Mrs McDonald’s Cake Sale Date

Please note that we have had to change the date of Mrs
Smith’s and Mrs McDonald’s cake sale. It will now be on

special photo.
