JUNE 2013 – NEWSLETTER THE SUMMER TERM We’re now more than half way through our final school term of the academic year. As you can see from the diary dates section there is a great deal going on, all of which will all be individually explained in greater detail in future correspondence.
WE’RE GOING TO THE ZOO This year’s whole school trip has been arranged for Monday 1st July to Colchester Zoo. The cost will be £7.50 per child with the coach being funded by the PTFA.
Friday 21st June: PARANORMAN (PG) 5pm finish Unfortunately (unless anyone has any suggestions) the planned screenings for the 28th June and 5th July have been cancelled as Mr Pearce is at a meeting in Ipswich and the County Finals in Bury St. Edmunds on those days.
CHECK LABELS, PLEASE Please could you ensure that your child’s fleece/sweatshirt are labelled. We are having a number of occasions recently where children are taking home the wrong top, which are then not being returned to their rightful owners.
DANCE Good luck to all of our current and ex-pupils who are taking part in the Suffolk Schools’ Dance Jam at DanceEast on Thursday 4th July. Make sure that you’ve bought your tickets!
DIARY DATES
COUNTY FINALS During Friday 5th July, our Under 7 & Under 9 Gymnastics teams, Hi-5 Netball team and Swimming team will be taking part in the county finals in Bury St. Edmunds at different times of the day. This is going to be a terrific experience, but a logistical nightmare!
SPORTS DAY Sports Day will be during the afternoon of Thursday 11th June and will revert to the normal format of 4 teams based on credit card colours. However, we’d like to be able to have the straw bale ‘podium’ again – would anyone be able to provide us with the required bales, please?
PRODUCTION Rehearsals for the school production ‘The Emerald Crown’ are now gathering pace, as are the set designs. All children in the school will be involved. There will be three performances in total. These will take place during the evening on Tuesday 16th July and the afternoon and evening on Wednesday 17th July.
