FEBRUARY 2014 - NEWSLETTER SPRING TERM... PART 2 Welcome back for the second part of term. Hopefully things JIHIHJJHHHH will be ‘drier’ during the course of the next 6 weeks. There’s plenty happening with two residential trips, parents’ evenings, an activity week, a family film night and various sporting events to fit in. Thank you again to you all for your continued support of the school. We had double the amount of parents for our SHARE mornings compared to those who expressed an initial interest and a great working party to help tidy up the top playground – it all helps to make a real difference for the children. We also continue to be grateful to all of those parents who have listened to readers and given talks to the classes. If there are any more parents willing to ‘feature’ in an assembly, please let Mr Pearce know. The ones that we’ve held so far have gone down extremely well.Red Class would like to invite grandparents in to talk to the children about their lives, interesting places they've been and to tell any stories they might like to share - please see Mrs Stoney. This half term Years 4, 5 & 6 will be swimming at Framlingham College on a Friday afternoon whilst Years 2 & 3 will be either in the hall or on the astroturf at the college.
