Macaulay School Newsletter 13

April 2010

 

     

 

Welcome back to the start of the Summer term, which promises to be a very busy one.
A list of dates is printed on the reverse of this letter. Please pin these up on your calendar.
A very special thank you to Year 5 for all the hard work that went into writing and practising for their very moving portrayal of the Easter story at our end of term service.

 

LENT APPEAL

We are very proud of all our children for their hard work to support the Lent Appeal. The total raised currently stands at £885 with some Sponsored Read money still coming in. Thank you also for your support!

 

KS1 WORK

Our refurbishment work has now well and truly started. Reception and Year 1 have settled into their Portacabins and arrangements for the start and end of the school day are working well so far. As stated in the letter yesterday, we will let you know of any further changes as soon as they are made.

 

SUMMER UNIFORM

Children may wear summer uniform from now on, but should all be wearing it after half term.

All shoes or sandals must be black or navy, no trainers,  and hair ornaments red or navy.

Coats or jackets must be plain navy blue.

Please check your ‘Welcome Back to School’ booklets for further details.

There are a number of summer shirts and dresses on the PTA’s used uniform rail – all items are for sale at £1 each

 

PTA NEWS

Planning is now underway for the Summer Fair which is on Saturday 22nd May. Please talk to you class rep if you are interested in joining the work party which meets on Wednesday mornings. All are very welcome.

 

VOUCHERS

We are still collecting Sainsbury’s vouchers for sports equipment. The collection point is just outside my office for both of these. Every single one helps and we are very grateful for your continued support.

 

SUMMER SEEDS

All children will soon receive seeds to plant and grow in time for the summer competition. Perhaps our display will match the lovely Dig It display of tulips!

 

OTHER NEWS

Very well done to Amelie in Reception for winning first prize of a £30 book token in Marsh and Parson’s ‘Draw Your Dream House’ competition. Congratulations also to the runners up, Lily in Y4 and Olivia in Y5, each winning £10 book tokens.

 

Now that our skies are busy with planes again we look forward to the safe return of Mrs O’Toole, Mrs  Lilly, Christelle. Year 4 TA, Jessica, is reported to be aboard a navy vessel!
