Dear Parents/Guardians

Science Week – Monday, 18th to Friday, 22nd May
Monday sees the start of science week. It promises to be a fun and interesting week for the children.

If you have not sent in your £2 for the ‘Quantum Theatre’ production on the Friday morning we would be most appreciative if you could do that at the start of next week.

Also, your child’s class teacher will let you know what day their class will be working in the school vegetable plot so you can send along an old pair of shoes or wellies.

Request From Year 3 and 4
Do you have any unwanted Tudor costumes at home that you no longer need?  If you are willing to donate them to the school, please bring them to the school office or the middles classroom.

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, Flora Cooking With Schools,  Box Tops For Education
Many thanks for all the vouchers we have been receiving.  Please continue to encourage friends and families to collect vouchers for us.

We are also collecting tokens from Flora margarine tubs (Free Cooking Equipment For Schools) and Box Tops For Education of Nestle cereals.

Gardening Afternoons
Just a reminder that tomorrow and Sunday afternoon there will be a member of staff down at the school vegetable plot and the reception class garden plot from 2.00pm to 4.00pm both afternoons.  If you could come help on either of those two days to help clear the plots, we would be most appreciative.  There will be drinks and biscuits to keep us going!

It would be helpful if you could bring garden forks, spades, secateurs and tub trugs/buckets to supplement school supplies.

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.  It can be any time over the next month or so.

World Environment Day
On the 5th June all over the world more than 100 countries will be celebrating World Environment Day.  The theme this year is:  ‘Your Planet Needs You To Unite To Combat Climate Change’.

On that day the United Nations Environment Programme is hoping everyone will plant something.  We would like every child in the school to bring in something they can plant (eg vegetable plant or a  flower plant ).  More details nearer the time.

Family Fun Day At Elsworth and Cottenham Primary School
From 10.00am to 12 noon at Elsworth and 2.00pm to 4.00pm at Cottenham on Thursday, 28th May the Children’s Locality Team will be holding two free Family Fun Days.  There will be arts and crafts, face painting, decorating biscuits, stencil painting and a baby and toddler area.  Come along and join in for this half-term fun.

Best wishes

Lin Whyte
Headteacher
