Dear Parents
You may have noticed the rather large nest that appeared on our grass this week. It
contained two large eggs which, as we saw on our CCTV, hatched into baby dragons. We even
had a complaint about screeching noises through the night. It’s amazing the amount of work
we’ve done from this surprise visit – and in book week. What a coincidence!
World Book Day
Mrs Kay and I had a lovely morning yesterday taking our seven story writing winners to
Waterstones to choose their prize and then to a café. Their behaviour was exemplary and
they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Two young men ate choc chip muffins that were as big as
their head and the lady in the café asked us if we could teach the other customers how to
leave the place tidy. Congratulations to our winners:
Theo Callen Cox
Kayden Walne
Millie Shepherd
Charlie Jones
Libbi Thomas
Sebastien Ramdeal
India McKeon-Devaney
And a big thank you to the mum who gave the donation to the children to boost their winnings.
Book Token
All the children were given a book token; it can be used to get £1.00 off any children’s book
or to exchange for one of the special World Book Day books at no cost – there’s a good
choice. For more information visit worldbookday.com/books.
Thank you for all the book donations; the swap was very successful and lots of children went
home with a new book to read. The adults were thrilled with their swaps too.
Assembly
Next week is the turn of the Reception Class children who will be reminding us that it’s
Mother’s Day. This is one definitely not to be missed.
Comic Relief
We’re making our faces funny for money next week. £1.00 donation to be allowed into school
with a funny face next Friday.
We’re also selling Red Noses to support the charity – they’ll be available in school next week
and cost £1.00.

Congratulations
Kara, in Reception Class delighted told me she’s now an aunty. Her big sister Alice (one of our
ex pupils) has had a little girl, Lily May. Kara has nursed her and fed her. What lovely news!
Appeal
Year 1 would like any egg boxes (6’s) that you might have so they can turn them into Dragons.
Thank you.

Finally, as I was bringing some of our winners back from Waterstones one of them was
reading his receipt. He read each item out loud, and the address and then began laughing.
“Something’s tickled you,” I said.
“Yes,” he said, “It’s the postcode, it’s WIJ 9HD”.
I’ll let you work it out, but it fits with a Year 5 boy’s sense of humour!
Yours sincerely
Mrs D C Bohan
