Hello again
What a Brilliant Week!



Another busy week in school and so much to celebrate. All the staff are so proud of how the children have handled such a busy week. Their behaviour has been excellent both on the visit to Wolseley Bridges, the animal theme day and the disco. So a big well done to everyone.

It was great fun taking the whole school out for the day. The weather was extremely kind and it just started to rain as we got on the coach. The children used excellent manners throughout the day and were praised by the centre staff for their good behaviour.

A HUGE thank you for all the time and effort spend on providing fantastic costumes for the animal theme day. The children looked brilliant and a good day was had by all. In the afternoon we had a visit from the Blue Cross Animal Centre who gave each class a talk about safety around dogs and how to treat them with respect. They even brought a dog into the classrooms!

Mrs Massey took some photographs of the children in their costumes that are on display in the school hall. If you would like a copy of the photos we are charging £1 a picture to cover printing cost. Please see Mrs Miller in the office.



The disco went well and all the children enjoyed themselves. There are a lot of sleepy faces in school today after such a busy time!  

Have a good weekend

Best wishes to you all
Mrs Clarey

“Moving On Service”
Can’t believe where this term has gone but we are approaching our last week and preparing for the moving on service.
As mentioned in previous newsletters, the service will take place on Wednesday 21st in the church at 9.30. Hope to see you there.

“Second Hand Uniform Sale”
Message from the PTA. There will be a second hand uniform sale on Fri 23rd July at 3pm. If you have any uniform from Barlaston or Christ Church that you would like to donate to school, we would be grateful if you could hand it in at the sale. Many thanks.

Lost Property Box
Please check lost property box as everything left will be recycled at the end of term



Ink Cartridges
We are collecting empty ink cartridges in school, so if you gather any over the holidays,  we would appreciate it if you could bring them into school at the start of the new term . Many thanks.

Non Uniform Day Last Day of Term
Mrs Barlow (Alice and Ralph’s Mum) is raising money for a charity called Morning Star. The charity helps children in Africa and she has asked if we can run a non uniform day to raise some money from school. If you could donate 50p to help these  children, we would be really grateful.

Questionnaire
As it is the end of another school year I am sending home a quick questionnaire for you to complete and return. Your answers help us to see what we are doing well and where we can make improvements. Thank you in advance for you time in completing it.
