MAY (2) 2011 - NEWSLETTER LATEST NEWS
PARENTS’ FORUM
Included in the ‘diary dates’ section are a number of key dates for this term to enable everyone to get organised for a rather hectic time of the year. Further details will be given nearer the time. Time has certainly moved on at a pace since the first newsletter at the start of this term. The weather has been quite wonderful and we are appreciative of all those parents who have supported us keeping the children ‘sun safe’ by ensuring that they have hats and water bottles. Thank you to all of those parents who have returned their questionnaires so far – replies would be appreciated by Friday 20th May. We will soon begin rehearsals for our end of year production, ‘Jeremiah 2 The Misty Mountains’, written by the older children. It should be an incredible journey! The production will involve every child in the school and will include singing, dancing and acting. The previous production held in 2009 was a great success!
This half term’s Parents’ Forum will be held at 9am on Wednesday 25th May. We hope that you are able to join us as we feel this is a positive way of expressing ideas and concerns. Everybody is welcome in what is an open agenda
MIDNIGHT WALK A number of staff are taking part in the Midnight Walk in Ipswich on Saturday 14th May. The Midnight Walk is an eight mile circular walk at night starting and finishing at Ipswich Town Football Club in Portman Road. The aim is to raise money for St. Elizabeth’s Hospice. If anyone wishes to support the staff’s efforts, please speak to Tracey in the office.
IEP REVIEWS As previously stated in the first May newsletter, IEPs (Individual Education Plans) are due their termly review. If you wish to discuss your child’s review, please arrange an appointment with Mr Pearce.
