Dear Parents

Very well done to our Year 6 children who shown resilience this week in the way that they have tackled the SATs.  They have worked incredibly hard and we could not have asked any more of them.  They were all congratulated this morning by Mrs Crook when they were all in Gold Book.  Well done Year 6!

Parking around the school    

Please could I remind you, once again, about the importance of parking thoughtfully around the school.  Please park on the concrete area in front of the barn, filling from the back and allowing access to the houses by the barn.  Please be very careful about dropping off children at the school gate; not stopping in the road to let children jump out of the car and run in to school.  Children should be supervised on to the school premises.  Please allow enough time at the start of the day to enable you to park and then escort your child through the gate.  Thank you!

I have written to Kent Highways this week to ask them to look at the problem for us too.

Owls cake sale     

£68.38 was raised from the Owls cake sale last Friday.  Well done!

Year 5 parents – Bowles trip

The time for the Bowles trip is fast approaching!  Please could parents pay the next installment of £115 by 11th June. Thank you!

Sainsbury vouchers     

Thank you to everyone for the large number of Sainsbury vouchers that have been sent in to school.  We shall be sending our vouchers off next week ordering many great items for playtime.  Please send to school any that you still have at home. Thank you!

Ascension Day activities

We are looking forward to our Ascension Day activities next Thursday in particular having a chance to enjoy the local environment and outdoor learning.  Please ensure you send in the completed consent forms on Monday 21st.

Fairtrade

Please may we remind you that the cost of Fairtrade goods are 35p and 65p.  It would be greatly appreciated if your child could bring in the exact money when purchasing from the stall.

Charivari Festival Saturday 16th June

Please may we remind Owls parents that if you would like your child to participate, please could we have the permission slips back by Wednesday 23rd May.  Many thanks.

Ham Street Woods    

Ham Street Woods was made a National Nature Reserve 60 years ago, so this year we are celebrating with a series of 60th Birthday Party events.

The first event is this Saturday 19th May from 11am - 2:30pm. We are having a party in the woods with treasure hunts (can you find the Gruffalo?), kid's craft activities, traditional woodland crafts (willow weaving, charcoal burning), refreshments, guided walks, and more!

It's a FREE fun family event.

Sun 27th May 2012 12-4pm

If anyone can help with this event please sign up. A sign up sheet will be in the playground at drop off and pick up all next week.

We will need: 1) helpers on the day – setting up, serving lunches and teas, washing up  and clear up - working in 2 hour shifts from 11 to 4:30ish. (this is flexible)                          

2) People baking cakes, making desserts, quiches, potato salad, coleslaw                             and pickles/chutneys all will be very gratefully received.

We will collect from home if you’re not going yourself just let Sam, Lesley or Louisa know.

This is a lovely day for all involved and with 100% of profit going to the school, due to Barclays generous fund-matching, it’s a great fundraising opportunity.
