The infants are going on their final Forest School Trip for this year on Monday
8th July; they will be visiting the wooded area in Gressingham again. They will all
need a packed lunch and drink, all disposable items please and appropriate outdoor
clothing for the weather! If they have waterproof trousers please send them
with them, as the ground could be damp. An information sheet giving further

Monday 8th July will be the final session this year for the popular multi-sports
club held after school. We hope to offer this again in September and will update
you at the beginning of next term.
Sports Day
We all have our fingers crossed for good weather on Tuesday 9th July so that
sports day can go ahead as planned at 1.15pm. It will take place on the school
field and all parents are encouraged to come along and participate! If your child
has a t-shirt in the colour of their house please could they bring it to wear, there
will be coloured bands available for anyone who needs them.

Parental Questionnaires. A letter regarding this is enclosed in the bag today and

Sainsbury’s Active Kids Vouchers
We collected a fantastic 5753 vouchers which we are now exchanging for a
variety of cookery items, some waterproof jackets and some playground toys! A
big thank you to all parents and friends who helped us reach this total.
School Meals
Cookie is planning a special menu for the last week of term, including party food
on the Thursday. Pupils will only be in school for lunch on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday; details of the menu will be in next week’s newsletter.
There will be a 10p increase in the price of each school meal in September, they
will cost £2.20/ per meal and £11 for full week. This still represents good value
and remains cheaper than surrounding counties.
