Dear Parent/Carer,

The weather has improved and Spring appears to have arrived! We’ve enjoyed fabulous learning experiences throughout school this week. Our Year 56 pupils began the week on a mission to Save The World for their Climate Change focus and Key Stage One pupils participated in a Bushtucker Trial on Tuesday. As ever, we had wonderful creativity coming out of our Nursery and Reception classes and, completing the ‘Full House’, our Year 34 pupils have been focusing on E-Safety. If you aren’t already doing so every week, please take some time to look at our incredible blogs. The blogs keep you up to date with the learning that is going on around our school, learning that is – as our blogs testify – truly amazing.

Parent Consultations
Parent Consultations take place next week, week commencing 28th March. If you do not have an appointment time, please contact Mrs Smith or Mrs Holland to make one. Parent Consultations are a very important part of our shared responsibility to help your child to enjoy and achieve in school.

Red Nose Day
Thanks to everyone who made a donation in Red Nose Day. Your generous donations last week raised a total of £356.60 towards the Appeal.

Friendly Faces
Our Friendly Faces Holiday Club is open again this Easter for eight days of the holiday. Due to the pattern of demand for places, Friendly Faces will be closed on Wed 6th and Thu 7th March only. Half Day (morning or afternoon) Childcare costs only £12.50, full days are charged at only £25.00. If you wish to book Childcare with Friendly Faces, please contact Louise Parker on 07810071148 or friendlyfacesatrobinhood@gmail.com. We are also taking bookings for the May Half Term and Summer at Friendly Faces. We are able to sustain a long term Holiday Club offer to parents only if there is sufficient demand for places.

Clubs
Except Keyboards and Guitar, there are no clubs next week due to Parent Consultations and the final week of the term. Clubs will begin again, as usual, on the second week back, week commencing 25th April.

Nursery Closure
Due to the Open Day for new parents, Nursery will be closed on Friday 27th May.

Parent Questionnaire
Many thanks to those people who have completed and returned a questionnaire.

Coffee Mornings in the Community Annexe
Our next Coffee Morning and Lost Property Sale takes place in the Community Annexe on Tuesday 29th March and on every second Tuesday.
