The FOSS Friday cake sale takes place every week in the playground after school. Last year it raised a staggering £5,700 for the school. Many thanks to everyone who donated and bought cakes.
As a reminder - in order to keep our whole school community safe we always ask that homemade or shop bought cakes do not contain nuts, coconut or sesame. Many shop bought cakes will say 'may contain nuts' and, given people bake in their homes, we can never guarantee the sale is completely 'nut free,' as traces may exist. Any cake bought at the sale is under parental supervision, not school supervision. Parents who give their children money to visit the sale are accepting parental responsibility (especially for Yr5 and Yr6 children whose parents may not be present at pick up). Children going to Stars on a Friday afternoon do not visit the cake sale, instead a cake is provided directly by Stars to children who would like to visit. Thank you in advance to everyone over this school year that will bake, buy and help make our cake sales succesful and safe.
Many thanks

CHECK OUT NATIONAL SAFETY ONLINE FOR LOTS OF USEFUL TIPS ON HOW TO KEEP CHILDREN SAFE. THIS WEEK IT IS ALL ABOUT BEING CAREFUL THAT CHILDREN DO NOT ACCIDENTALLY SIGN UP FOR EXPENSIVE ADD-ONS WHEN THEY ARE PLAYING GAMES ONLINE. HERE IS WHAT THE EXPERTS AT NATIONAL SAFETY ONLINE SAY:
"Seventy-six billion dollars. That’s the value some experts have assigned to this year’s global online microtransaction market – those additional in-app and in-game purchases which offer young players a temptingly quick way to enhance their digital experience for real-world money.
"With concerns over the impact of allowing these paid-for upgrades to be available to children, some countries have already either banned microtransactions or subjected them to stringent legislation. This week’s #WakeUpWednesday guide outlines the most significant risks."
