Dear Parents/Guardians

Science Week – Monday, 18th to Friday, 22nd May
Calling all scientists!  Are there any parents or grandparents out there who would be willing to come in during science week to talk to the children about their speciality?  Please contact the school office if you can help.

Request from Year 1
The year 1 children are hoping to develop their outside area this summer term.

Have your children outgrown any outside children’s garden furniture (table, chairs, picnic table, or Wendy house)?

If you have any you are willing to donate to the school, please talk to Claire Higgins or Emily Lewney.

Tesco and Sainsbury Vouchers
Many thanks for all the vouchers we have been receiving.  Please continue to encourage friends and families to collect vouchers for us.

Flora Cooking With Schools
We are also collecting tokens from Flora margarine tubs (Free Cooking Equipment For Schools).

Hungary/Germany Comenius/Esperanto Exchange Visit To The School
We had a very exciting 5 days with our visitors from Hungary and Germany. Many thanks to the families and members of staff who hosted our visitors.

Summer Sports Day
The sports days will now take place on the school playing field starting at 1.30pm on the following dates:

  • Reception, Years 1 &2        Thursday, 25th June
  • Years 3, 4, 5 & 6                    Wednesday, 10th June

School Vegetable Plot
Do you have any vegetable plants that you are willing to donate to the school vegetable plot?  We would be thrilled to receive any spare you might have.  Either bring them to the school office or call the office and we can collect them from you.

During Science Week we are hoping to get the children involved with the vegetable plot.  Therefore, we could use some help to get the vegetable bed sorted the weekend of Saturday, 16th May (from 2.00pm to 4.00pm) and Sunday, 17th May (from 2.00pm to 4.00pm).  If you could come help on either of those two days to help clear the plot, we would be most appreciative.  Let Mrs Lewney in the office know if you can help.  A member of staff will be there on both days.  There will be drinks and biscuits to keep us going!

Bikes and Scooter
Just a reminder that bikes and scooters should not be ridden within school property.  Once your child has entered the school gates they must get off their bike or scooter and walk it.

Danny’s Garden
At the back of the school, between the middles and infant blocks, an ex-Bar Hill pupil, James Hobbs has recently finished ‘Danny’s Garden’.

Danny Finn was a pupil at Bar Hill School when he sadly died at the age of 9.  The garden is a memorial garden in his memory.

Many thanks to James for all the planning, preparation and hard work he put into the garden.  It will be enjoyed by many.

Finally, I hope you all have a lovely relaxing weekend.  I will see the children on Tuesday.

Best wishes

Lin Whyte
Headteacher
