Dear Parents, PARENTS EVENING Parents are warmly invited to attend a parents evening on the evening of the 24 March from 3.30 7.30pm. A letter has been sent home asking you to select the most convenient time slot and we would appreciate it being returned to the school office by the weekend. All classes will be open to allow you to speak to your teacher and look at your childrens work. Mr Aguilars (Y1 - Rhinoceros) parents evening will take place on the Tuesday 25th March as he is taking the football teams to Lostock Hall for a district tournament. NO KARATE 24

MARCH

Owing to the fact that the parents evening will be taking place, there will be no Red Tiger Karate Club on this evening. MONEY ENVELOPES Please may I remind parents that all money brought into school for trips/dinner money etc. must be in a sealed envelope when handed into the office or put in our secure boxes. We have secure post boxes installed in the entrance to Foundation 1 and 2, both year 1 classes and the cloakroom in year 2.We also have a secure mail box in the KS1 hall for parents whose children attend breakfast/after school club and a secure box in the entrance by the office. Please place the money in the relevant boxes, this way no teachers are responsible for collecting money. Miss Boyle will empty these boxes every morning after registration. Money for after school club payments can be put in their own payment box in the KS1 hall on the left hand side. Y6 EDUCATIONAL VISIT TO LEYLAND RECYCLING CENTRE As you may be aware, Y6 are to have a fantastic day at the Leyland Recycle Centre on Thursday. Please could I remind you to help us by ensuring that all our childrens packed lunches are 100% recyclable. This is a really important part of the day and all visiting schools compete against each other to see who produces the least waste. ROTAKIDS Y4 SUPPORTING ST CATHERINES HOSPICE This week, the ROTAKIDS of Year 4 will be presenting in assembly a community project they are leading on. They plan st to hold a book and DVD sale on Tuesday 1 April in the afternoon. They would really appreciate any donations of books and DVDs that are no longer needed or used by you. Both adult and childrens books/DVDs will be accepted and you will be most welcome to come and join us if you are free to obtain a bargain! If you could just start sorting any books that you may wish to donate, we will let you know when to bring them in nearer to the event. All proceeds will be given to St Catherines Hospice. WELL DONE! A phenomenal achievement by Jaydon, Katie and Jasmine from Leopard Class for achieving their 1 mile swimming badge. Well done! Also a fantastic effort by Lucy in Chinchilla Class for reaching her 50m distance award and she is only in Reception Class! WILLOW WORK Soon, a willow tunnel is to be built around the tyre play area in the junior field. This is the result of a prior decision made by our School Council. This hopefully will help absorb the rain that falls in this area of the school grounds and be a fun and natural resource for our children to enjoy at playtimes in the future. We hope that the willow artist will also spend some time with the ECO Club as she is constructing it.

NUMBER 10 - FOOTBALL KIT! Can you help, our football kit Number 10 shirt and shorts are missing and we would really appreciate you having a look if your child has borrowed it in the last term or so. If you have it, please leave it at the school office and run away as fast as possible. Nobody will ever know! PTA MEETING WEDNESDAY 12
