The Masked Reader Results

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Masked Reader competition.  The winner of the £10 book voucher was:  George R!  For those of you interested in finding out who is behind which mask:

Dodgeball

For those Foxes attending the dodgeball event on Tuesday, please ensure they come to school in their PE kits, they will also need a packed lunch, snacks and water.  They are expected back to school about 3:45pm and will need to be collected by an adult at that time.  If parents are planning to attend and take their child straight home from the event, please ensure this has been expressed to the school before the day.

STEAM Day

For those children attending the STEAM day at St Joseph's College, please ensure you have arrangements in place for dropping and collecting at the site.

Red Nose Day

For RND this year we are inviting children to come into school wearing something red for a donation of £1.  The money goes directly to the charity.  If your child does not wish to participate, they can wear their uniform.

PTA

Don't forget our fabulous PTA team are looking for new members to join the committee.  The next event is coming up at the end of March - please see attached poster for details of how to buy your tickets for the Easter Trail.  If you would like to get more involved in supporting the team and therefore supporting the school, please contact Hannah Carpenter or any of the committee for more details.  Without the volunteers within the PTA these events cannot run, please consider how you might be able to support the team.

Dress to Express Photo Booth

Please check your emails for details of how to view the photos taken in the booth on the Dress to Express day last month.

Federation STEM Day

We are looking forward to our Federation STEM Day on 31st March.  There will be more information to follow but just so you can plan ahead, we will be walking up to the Village Hall after registration.  Please ensure children have coats with them, and water bottles.  They will not need book bags, just packed lunches if not having a hot dinner.  Dinners can still be ordered on the day but jacket potatoes will not be available.  Parents are invited to join us arriving from 1:50-2pm.  The day will finish at 3:10pm - ALL children will need collecting from the hall at the end of the day.

Lego Club

Each week at Lego Club, there is a theme and one of the builds is sent through to the national website where there is a competition. This week's build was Wizard and here is our entry to the competition.  You can vote for our build here - we're usually on page 2.
