Dear Parents/Guardians
Eco-Schools Award
We are starting work towards gaining the Eco-Schools Award with the support and help of one of our parents, Mrs Lisa Taylor. This will be a very interesting and important project for our children covering all aspects of sustainability e.g. water, waste, energy, litter, transport, healthy eating, wildlife, school grounds and will have a global perspective. Each class will carry out an environmental review and the recommendations will be passed to the Eco Working Party who will produce a plan of action. Watch this space for further news of this exciting project!
Esperanto News
We recently held a 3 day meeting with representatives from our partner schools in Hungary and Germany with a view to gaining funding for future collaboration. We look forward to hearing a positive result in the near future.

Would you like a chance to warm up after the cold walk to school to drop your children off? How about the chance to meet other parents, to have coffee and biscuits and to chat in a relaxed atmosphere?
Beginning on Friday 18th January we will be opening up the community room for parent drop-in sessions from 8.45 until 10am. Drinks and biscuits will be provided and you can feel free to stay for as little or as long as you like. Feel free as well to bring pre-school children if you have them.

Dear Parents
As part of your child’s Esperanto course, we would like your help with three things:
- On Friday of next week (18th January) we would like the children to bring a small gift of around 50p in value - a pencil, a rubber, a notepad, a postcard, some stickers, sweets, or similar - to send to children at partner schools in Germany and Hungary. (If it says “Cambridge” or “Great Britain” on it, so much the better!). We hope to receive something similar from the other schools too.
- Please fill in and return the permission slip below so that your child can appear in photos and videos, which we will share with the partner schools*.
- And finally, put the dates 24th to 27th August in your diary! We are organising a trip for up to 12 children, with one parent each, to visit the children at our partner school in Germany. The cost has yet to be finalised, but will probably be around £70 per person. This includes flight, train/coach transfer and accommodation. We would be staying with host families and spending a couple of days in the local school as well as fitting in some sightseeing! It is strictly on a first come first served basis but if you would like to register an interest now, please fill in the attached form and return it to the school office marked ‘Esperanto German Trip’. There will be a follow-up meeting later to give further details on the visit.
