Parents in Partnership

We currently have 3 Class reps. Acorns Class– Lauren Sherrin, Ivy’s Mummy. Catkins Class – Millie Davis, Teddy’s Mummy and Francesca Rowland, Enzo’s Mummy. We need a Class Rep for Squirrels Class, give it a go it’s really not too arduous. Don’t worry if this is your first term, Lauren will ‘put you right’. Primarily, the role is to organise social get togethers for you all (only if you want to of course). Maybe for a morning coffee, lunchtime sandwich, evening drink or pizza, dads’ get together, play dates in the park for the children etc. There’s a ‘Parents Only’ Facebook page, which the class reps monitor and a Whatsapp group. Do let Lauren and Millie have you contact details if you aren’t on their group lists, even if you aren’t interested in joining in social activities they are good chat groups and a useful support.

Extra Curricula Activities

Planet Soccer - Fridays, 11 sessions, £44 www.planetsocceruk.com/programmes

Planet Soccer is suitable for all children, who can listen and follow instructions, and is held in school we do not leave the school grounds.  If you participated last term, I’ll assume you wish to continue unless you tell me otherwise. This is a commitment for the term and should be paid for, in full, at the start of term. We have a few places for January but if there’s enough demand we’ll see if Planet Soccer could offer a 3rd session.
