NOVEMBER 2009 - NEWSLETTER

JIHIHJJHHHHKA WARM WELCOME BACK

Last half term was a very long one indeed and I hope that all the children have come back refreshed and ready for

the next seven weeks.The rest of the autumn term looks like it’s going to be full with all sorts of ‘extras’ including: theatre visits,

sporting fixtures, special lunches and many more. There will be another newsletter in the near future outlining the

plans for the end of term to enable everyone to get organised in plenty of time.

CHILDREN IN NEEDFriday 20th November sees the annual ‘Children in Need’ fundraising day. Again, we will be trying to make a coin

trail around the school and are asking the children to bring in ‘coppers’ as a donation to produce the trail.

As for ‘doing something different’, this year we’re asking the children to either wear clothing inside out or back to front. They can wear whatever they wish, but something spotty would fit the theme of the day. Children may also

bring in their own ‘Teddy’ if they wish.

HARVEST FESTIVALA very big ‘thank you’ for all of your contributions for our Harvest Festival. The Ormiston Children’s Centre in Ipswich were extremely grateful for your kind gifts.

REMEMBRANCE DAYPoppies are now available from the School Office for a small donation. The whole school will be taking part in

two minutes silence on 11th November and some children will be laying crosses at the war memorial

near the church.
