 Activity Week

Children from Adders class have an exciting week next week with Foxes from Copdock.  There are a lot of activities happening throughout the week, please look out for regular emails reminding you what they need to bring each day. On Monday they need swimming stuff. Please see the timetable attached.

Please ensure that you have let us know if your child is staying overnight on Thursday at the sleepover.  If your child is staying for the sleepover, and they normally have a packed lunch, please bear in mind that parents will need to bring this in to school on Friday morning as children will not be at home Friday.

If your child is entitled to free school meals, please let us know if you wish them to have a school packed lunch on Wednesday and Thursday. 

Crucial Crew visit

Adders went on a trip to Crucial Crew at Stowmarket yesterday - the theme of the visit was 'staying safe'. They all had a good time and learned a lot to help them stay safe.

Sports Day

Sports day was on Tuesday morning and thankfully it was a bit cooler.  All the children did very well, especially the younger children who had never taken part in a sports day before. There was a lovely atmosphere and it was great to see so many parents watching. The children all showed great sportsmanship.  The winning team was the Green team!

Class Photos

Our annual class photos were taken on Tuesday, the children were given a voucher to bring home containing all the information you require to be able to order the photos once they are available on the Bentley Photographic website.  Please bear with them as they add them to the website.  The school has no direct influence on the timescale.  You are able to select for the photos to be delivered via school, in which case we will distribute them when we receive them.  Again, we are reliant on the company for their delivery dates.

Grab & Go Thursday Lunch - Hedgehogs and Wolves

As on previous Thursdays this term, next Thursday's grab & go lunch will be hot dog & potato wedges accompanied by crunchy veg sticks and followed by an iced cake.  Vegetarian hot dogs are also available, along with jacket potatoes. This replaces the normal Thursday menu. 

Jubilee Bibles

All the children were given a commemorative Jubilee bible this week. The visitors from the Trinitarian Bible Society came into assembly to talk to the children and kindly donated one to each child.
