Monday: Warhammer (years 5&6) maximum 12 children (Starts 2nd week back)

Wednesday: Nature Club (years 4-6 continued)

Friday: Multisports (years 1-3 continued)

Friday: Netball (years 4-6). 

Please sign up for Netball and Warhammer. Please be aware, there is a limited number for Warhammer club, so we will confirm your child's place.

There will be an additional dance practice for the years 4-6 group prior to the Feet First dance festival. Miss Taylor will confirm the date for this.

Young Voices will still run on the first Monday bank, as the concert is on the 27th. Therefore Warhammer Club will start the Monday after, ie the 2nd March.

Chess club and cross country will finish this term, except for the final cross country fun run and presentations at the Vineyards on Thursday 26th February.

Don't forget to look at the flyers at the bottom of the newsletter regarding holiday activities and events over Half Term.

All classes received a cricket session yesterday with a coach from the Gloucestershire Cricket Foundation. The GCF works with clubs to provide opportunities for children in the 'All Stars Cricket' (ages 5-8) and 'Dynamos Cricket' (ages 8-11) programmes in the spring/summer. Please see the following links for more information and to register your interest:

We have been made aware that our uniform supplier, Gooch Clothing, are no longer able to source the navy blue school cardigan. Until we can find an alternative, we are happy for you to buy any school-style navy cardigan, getting it personalised yourself if you so wish, or leaving it plain.

PE KIT: We have noticed that some children are coming in more varied items e.g. black and/or boldly branded items for PE. Please note that the PE t-shirt should be the school logo blue shirt. The school tracksuit is perfect for cold weather. Otherwise, shorts/skort/cycling shorts/joggers should be navy and unbranded. Children may wear their school jumper or cardigan instead of the tracksuit top when cold.

I just wanted to remind parents about the most effective ways to make contact with your child's teacher should you need to. You can also advise us if your child is off school sick/unwell on the School Spider app. This is also in the communications section of the website. This document also lists all of the emails for the teachers. We kindly ask that you do not use the private messaging system on Dojo but instead use email please. Many thanks for your support as always.  spaces.schoolspider.co.uk/uploads/605/page/40075479_page_file.pdf
