The ‘Cranbrook Chronicle’ Year 5 pupils have created their very own ‘Cranbrook Chronicle’ during literacy sessions to coincide with book week. Copies will be on sale to all parents/adults on Parent’s evening for 50p. All proceeds will be towards our vegetable garden.

Class Photos Class photos will take place on Thursday 31st March for the whole school except Year 5 whose will take place on Tuesday 29th March in the afternoon. Please make sure that the children come to school in full uniform.

First Aid For minor head injuries we will no longer be calling home, the children will be given a head injury sticker and a letter to go home. We will only call for injuries that are more significant and that we think you need to know immediately.

Book Fair Please come along to our Book Fair after school today in the Small Hall. The children have had a preview of the books which are available to buy. Do come along – the children are very excited about our Book Fair! Every book you buy helps to buy books for the school. Thank you for all your support so far.

Nursery Over the next few weeks we will begin offering places for children currently on our waiting list to start our Nursery in September. In order to be offered a place, your child must a) be on our waiting list and b) be 3 years old before 31st August 2011. If you would like to put your child on our Nursery waiting list you will need to come to the school office with your child’s Birth Certificate/Passport and 3 Utility Bills/Bank Statements to complete an application form. Please note that not all children on our waiting list will be offered a place as we have a limited number of places available.

Sainsbury and Tesco Vouchers We are again collecting Sainsbury and Tesco Vouchers, so please bring them in.

Late Collections During the week of Tuesday 1st March to Friday 4th March a total of 42 children were collected as late as 4.30pm at the end of the school day. If your child is collected late, you must ensure you sign them out in the late book at the main office. Over the following weeks we will be closely monitoring this situation. Persistent lateness in collecting your child from school may result in a referral to the Education Welfare Services.

Wear something Yellow Day All children are invited to come into school wearing something yellow this Friday 11th March for a donation of 50p per child in aid of the Marie Curie Cancer Fund.

Dinner Money Arrears If you owe any dinner money arrears please make sure you clear any debts by this Friday 11th March, otherwise you may be asked to arrange to give your child a packed lunch.

St Patricks Day St Patricks Day is on Thursday 17th March and we are inviting the children to come to school wearing something green. We will not be asking for a donation this is just for fun!

Parent/Carer Questionnaire Feedback I would like to thank all parents/carers who completed the recent questionnaire. I am pleased to note that overall the picture is very positive. The areas that are clearly a concern to some parents have been noted and shared with staff, so that we can make plans to address them.
