Welcome to April's newsletter. There's a lot to tell you this month,
starting with the news that Mrs Sinclair has given birth to a
beautiful little girl. Mrs Sinclair would like to thank all the people
who have sent her cards and wishes. We're looking forward to
welcoming her back next term on a shorter, part-time contract.

E-Safety
Our teachers have been busy writing some excellent e-Safety
information sheets for parents who are worried about keeping their
children safe online. These sheets will give you some practical tips
and suggestions to help you make sure your child is using the
Internet safely. If you are interested, give your name to the school
secretary and we'll contact you as soon as the sheets are available.

After-school clubs
Hopefully, your child has been attending one of our after-school
clubs this year. With classes like 'Karate Kids' and 'Tiny Tennis',
'Children's Chess' and 'Kids Art', we've tried to offer something of
interest to all our children. We've had several requests from parents
whose children have not attended an after-school class for different
activities. We'd like to point out that teachers run these clubs in their
own time and the activities we offer depend upon their skills and
knowledge. However, please keep giving us your suggestions; your
ideas are welcome. And if you have any interesting skills and have a
few free hours each week, please come in and talk to us.

School meals
We've managed to keep the price of school meals the same for the
past two years. Unfortunately, because of the rising cost of
ingredients, we'll be forced to charge a little more from next year.
If your child has a meal only once or twice a week, the cost will
be E2 per meal. For children having meals five days a week, the
cost will be E9 per week. If you are unemployed or if you have
difficulty paying for meals, please contact the school to see if
financial help is available.
