Sports Day Postponed!

18th June 2012

Dear Parents/Carers,

Sports Day Postponed!

Unfortunately, the prolonged wet weather over the weekend has made the field impossible to use for tomorrow’s planned Sports Day. We do - however - still have the option of trying again for the afternoon of NEXT Tuesday - June 26th.

If on that date, the field is waterlogged, then we will either use the playground or the school hall for a limited amount of events. Unfortunately this will mean that we would be unable to invite parents/carers and friends into school to watch the

proceedings.

I do appreciate that this uncertainty makes arrangements very difficult, especially for parents/carers that work, and can only apologise for the disruption it causes. Hopefully next year, we shall have the fenced play area - with larger hard surface -to use for such occasions.

Thank you for your patience and understanding and we hope to see you next week for Sports Day!

V. A. Morris

Sports Day!

15th June 2012

Dear Parents/Carers,

Sports Day!

 “Spells of wet and windy weather with periods of persistent, heavy rain will affect much of England and Wales through Friday and the weekend. The public should be aware of the risk of localised flooding.”

Whilst we will make every effort to hold our Sports Day next Tuesday, the weather forecast has worsened and we are hoping that the field will be dry enough to use safely. As we have planned an earlier date this year, this still leaves time to hold the Sports Day on the following Tuesday (June 26th).

We can only apologise for the possible disruption that a new date may cause to

parents/carers who have possibly taken time off work. Unfortunately, it seems that this time of year is becoming increasingly more unsettled!

Many thanks,

V. A. Morris

Dear Parents/Carers,

Thank you so much for your fantastic response to the Friends of Dame Tipping Garden Party yesterday! The weather was good and the children had a wonderful time. We are very

grateful to Danielle, Gill, Sonia, Louise and the many other parents who baked, carried

furniture, organised stalls and games and supported the non-uniform day. Reiss Thomas - an ex-pupil - kept the children well entertained with magic tricks, music and dancing.

The Friends  raised around £500 which will go towards funding the costs of school visits and extra treats for the children etc. Because of their continued support, the school is one of the few locally that still do not make a charge for the costs of school outings. The

children will all be presented with a commemorative Jubilee mug from the Friends today.

On Wednesday, the reception year group visited Old MacDonald’s Farm and Years 1 - 6 had a wonderful afternoon at the *Go Bonkers* afternoon generously hosted by Broadford School. Our children were exceptionally well behaved!

We wish you all a very Happy Jubilee Bank Holiday and half term week. The following

Monday is a staff training day so school will begin again on:

With many thanks,

Dear Parents/Carers,

On Wednesday, Years 1 - 6 have been invited to visit to Broadford School for a *Go
Bonkers* afternoon of bouncy fun! The children will be taken to the school by coach after lunch and returned to school by 3.00pm ready for collection. Would you please complete and return the slip below to give permission for your child/ren to attend this event?

If the weather is wet, then the event will not be held.

Please note also that the Thursday clubs this week will have to be cancelled due to the Garden Party.

Many thanks,

V. A. Morris
