2010 Lent Appeal - Please check Lent News page for information

 

Macaulay School Lent Newsletter

       

 

I hope you all enjoyed the half term break. Although the weather has been a bit grey it’s lovely to see the early signs of spring.

 

Next Thursday 4th March is the day to bring back your daffodil bulbs for judging. Please label pots clearly with your child’s name and class and leave them on the tables on the front decking area.

 

LENT APPEAL

Lent began last week and with it our annual Lent Appeal. The timetable of fundraising events is printed on the reverse of this letter.

This year we will be supporting the Bishop’s Lent Appeal, Trinity Hospice and the Haiti Relief Fund.

There is an opportunity for adults to join in – please ask for a form in the office.

Thank you to the Tulley family who have already raised a fantastic £161 from their pancake sale and to Year 3 who raised £112 from their coin sale all for the Haiti fund.

Our first event will be another Year 3 coin sale tomorrow at 3.15pm

 

PTA QUIZ NIGHT

Tickets are now available from class reps for this much loved annual event on Friday 26th March. For £7.50 you can enjoy an evening hosted by Mark Thomas, with a glass of wine and buffet supper whilst you pit your wits against other parents and some of the staff!

 

GRASS SURVEY

The PTA have been out in the playground this week carrying out a survey of pupils, parents and staff about the possibility of raising  funds to have the ‘grass’ area in the lower playground covered in ‘no mow’ an all weather artificial grass surface. If you missed them – please come in and ask for a survey form.

 

PRAYER GROUP

All are welcome to join our Wednesday Prayer Group, in the staffroom from 9.00-9.30, or to leave a request for prayers to be said.

WORLD MARKET DAY 2010

The afternoon of the final day of this term, Thursday 1st April, sees the popular return of our very successful World Market Day. If you would like to be involved with the planning in any way, please come to a meeting in the staffroom tomorrow at 9.00am. 

 

ACTIVE KIDS IS BACK ...

The Sainsbury’s reward scheme is once again in full swing – vouchers are given for money spent in store. These can be exchanged for PE and sports equipment – a great way to replenish our stocks, especially of lost balls.

Please place your vouchers in the collection box outside my office.

 

CLASS NEWS

A group of our Year 5 and 6 pupils have been invited to attend critical thinking and modern languages after school clubs at Lambeth Academy.

This week Year 5 visited the Imperial War museum and tomorrow Years 1,2 and 4 will have drama workshops. Next week members of  the theatre club are going to see the Lion King, Year 3 are visiting Tate Britain,  a Year 6 team will compete in a robot building competition and the school teams will take part in the first round of the national Quiz Club competition at Wyvil School.
