KS2 Sports Day
Sports Day for Key Stage 2 will take place on Friday 2nd July from 9.30am to 11.30am. Each class will participate in 6 different activities and will be competing against the other classes in their year to see which class can get the most points. As the World Cup is currently taking place and classes have already represented World Cup teams in the sponsored walk, classes are to represent the same team for Sports day, so children should try and wear PPA clothes with colours which reflect their World Cup team.

Please come and along support your child’s class.

Medicine in School

If your child needs antibiotics 4 times a day, the office staff will give your child the lunchtime dose as required for as long as necessary, if you have completed the relevant medicine form. This is purely voluntary on their behalf.

We will no longer be giving Piriton or Calpol during the school day. If your child has these medicines please give them their dose before and after school.

If you have brought in medicine to school please collect it from the Office before the end of term.

Please would parents remind their children to take their lunch boxes home with them each night, as we have noticed that a number are being left in the evening. For hygiene reasons we ask that all lunch boxes go home after school. Thank you.

Car Parking

The car park next door will be closed at the beginning and end of the school day to prevent parents parking, following some near misses last week.  If you park in this car park you could find yourself locked in.

Maths Money Week

Monday marks the beginning of maths money week in school. Children will be fund raising in every year group. This will hopefully raise economic awareness as well as developing some entrepreneurial skills! There will be competitions going on in each phase for the class that manages to raise the most money. All the money from Key Stage 1 and 2 will fund a really exciting soccer academy next week, and the foundation will be able to choose what they want to do with their money.

Parking on Pavements

We have asked many times but this is a desperate plea for parents to stop parking on the pavement.  This week there has been a near miss on the pavement outside the bookmaker across the road.  Please be cautious and considerate at all time when driving or parking near school.

School Meal Menu

We are trialling some new exciting recipes for the rest of the term.  We will be asking for feedback from children and parents and finalising the menus for September at the end of the summer term based on this feedback.

The new menus are on the website and in the office and towards the end of the summer term we will be holding parent and pupil forums so please look out for these dates in the newsletter.

Because of these changes will not be using the pre-order meal system we have been using for years 5 & 6.  Once the menus are finalised we will be going back to the pre-order system for Key Stage 2.
