Packed Lunches
Would you please remind your child that there is to be NO swapping of food or eating other children’s food at Lunchtimes. There has been an incident when a child was found eating biscuits from another child rather than their own lunch. Some children have allergies or intolerances to certain foods and eating the “wrong” foods could cause severe problems. Also parents/carers pack a lunch suitable for their own child and expect them to eat it all.
Rotary young Musician of the Year
Well done to all those children who represented the school at the Rotary Club Young Musician of the Year on Tuesday evening. We did not manage to get through to the next round despite a brilliant performance by all the pupils. Many thanks to Mr Asbury and Mr Lines for organising this.
Woodwind Music Tuition
Following the Woodwind Recital, from the Northamptonshire Music School, we would like to know if any children would be interested in learning to play either a flute or a clarinet. If we have enough interest we may be able to arrange for some tuition in school. The cost will be approximately £40 per term. If your child is interested please see Mr Asbury.
