Friday 22nd March

Good evening,

We have had another incredible term at Longnor CE Primary School. All children have worked really hard and have made excellent progress. Well done to all. I’m sure you’ll join me in saying a huge thank you to all members of staff for their dedication to planning and preparing exciting learning opportunities across the school.

Thank you to all that supported the Easter disco last night. There was an ‘eggcellent’ turn out and a lot of fun had by all.

For now, I’d like to wish you a happy and healthy Easter break. We will see you all on Monday 8th April ready for the summer term.

All the best.

Mrs L. Edgerton

End of Day Arrangements for April

Please complete your child’s end of day arrangements form for April, if possible before the end of this term or by 7th April 2024 at the latest.

Next term we will be offering three after school activities: Sports 4 All on a Monday (a mixture of various sports) with Mr Nagy, Striking and Fielding club on a Wednesday (a mixture of rounders and cricket type games) with Mr Nagy, and Athletics on a Thursday with Mr Helliker. All clubs are open for children in Reception to year 6. Please book these on the end of day form. Thank you.

Please note, there are no sports clubs running in the first week of term (night owls is available as usual). All sports clubs will start the week beginning 15th April.

Thank you.

School Circle Meeting

Friday 12th April, 2.45pm – we are holding another in person planning meeting in the school staff room. Please be sure to attend as we do have a number of large events coming up in the summer term that will need a full team of volunteers to make it a success.

Duck Race

We are gathering a team of volunteers to help organise and run the Duck Race next term (19th May, Bridge Farm, Leebotwood). If you are interested and are able to help, please can you let us know on the School Circle Whats App group or leave your details with Reception if you are not on Whats App. Many thanks.

Wood wanted

We are looking for some wooden stumps to use as seats in our school Forest School site. Ideally, the diameter of the wood needs to be at least 30cm and the stumps should be at least 45cm tall.

We also require some smaller logs with a diameter of about 10cm and a length of roughly 5 feet. These will be used as shelter poles (Y shaped poles are brilliant for this). Silver birch or beech wood is brilliant for this.

If you can donate some wood to our school, we would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

Mrs Lewis

Little Owls request

Little Owls are running low on spare underwear! If anyone has any spare small sized pants or socks that they are getting rid of, Little Owls would be very grateful to receive them. Thank you.

Infections

We have had reports that a couple of children have had threadworm infections. Because of this, we are following guidance and increasing hand washing, ensuring all food is washed thoroughly before eating and making sure that key surfaces are thoroughly cleaned. Should you find that your child has an infection, please follow guidance and treat immediately. The school office would appreciate being notified of any infections in order to manage these effectively. There is no need to keep your child(ren) home from school.

ParentPay Balances

As we approach the end of the financial year, could we please ask that you settle any arrears outstanding on your ParentPay accounts. We would appreciate if you would give this your immediate attention.

All voucher schemes and government childcare vouchers have now been applied to your ParentPay accounts, up to the 28th February. Any payments received after this date will be processed after the Easter Holidays. Thank you.
