Dear Parents/Guardians
School Open Evening
It was lovely to see so many of you last night for our open evening. I am sure that you appreciated the children’s wonderful art work which was displayed in the classes.
School Fun Day – Cancelled
Just a reminder that there is no fun day tomorrow but we hope in either September or October to have a family fun day/school 40th birthday celebration. The PTA and I did not want a repeat of last years ‘wet’ fair and therefore the decision had to be made early in order to cancel the bouncy castles, food, etc.
However, I promise you the family fun day and 40th birthday celebrations in September will be worth waiting for!
We will let you know more details in September.
Holidays
Parents are reminded that holidays should not be taken in school time. In line with the government’s guidance, all absences will be marked as “unauthorised”. Thank you for your cooperation and support.
School Meals
From September school meals will increase by 5 pence to £1.90. We have held the original price since April 2007, but unfortunately due to the increased cost of food we have had to make the extra 5p charge.
Memorial Service
Tomorrow, Saturday, 12th July, there will be a memorial service for Jelena Obradovich at 10.30am. It will be held at Great St Mary’s Church which is the large church next to market square in the centre of Cambridge. All are welcome.
Non-Uniform Day
Next Friday, 18th July will be a non-uniform day. Children can come non-uniform for 50p. This can be given to the class teacher.

Dear Parents/Guardians
Sports Days
The Key Stage 2 sports day went very well last Friday with a little help from the weather.
Unfortunately, the weather is not predicted to be too good for the Key Stage 1 sports day today. I am sure it won’t detract from everyone’s enjoyment!
School Open Evening
The school will hold its annual open evening on Thursday, 10th July from 6.00pm to 7.30pm. Parents, grandparents and other siblings are welcome to come and look around their child’s class to celebrate their wonderful achievements. I am sure you will be as proud of your children as I am.

Dear Parents/Guardians
School Garden
Again, many thanks to those who came out and helped make the gardening day so successful. As we have been very fortunate with the weather recently, we are looking for some volunteers to come and water our plants and vegetables! If you are able to spare a few minutes do call into the school office so that we can provide you with a watering can!
Sun Hats/Sun Cream
As you are aware we do not have a great deal of shade on the playground and as the warmer weather approaches, I would be grateful if you could ensure your child has a sunhat to wear outside. Also as we are unable to apply sun cream to the children, again I would appreciate if this could be done before your child comes to school.

Dear Parents/Guardians
Hammerhead
A number of you have expressed concern about the safety of our children whilst walking to and from the hammerhead outside the school. I have requested on a number of occasions that parents do not drop off their children or collect them from this point, but unfortunately, some parents are still unaware of the dangers this poses for children and that children’s safety is at risk.
This has been discussed with the governors at a recent meeting and they have requested your help and support in monitoring the hammerhead before and after school. If you think you can help, please contact me and I will put you in touch with one of our parent governors.
Sponsored Spell
Also, well done to all the children for all their hard work in learning their sponsored spell words. Cheques should be made payable to Bar Hill School.
