As we come to the final weeks of this academic year, I
would encourage you to take note of the key dates overleaf, so that you do not
miss any of the exciting and fun end of year events.
It is also important to remember that although the end
of the school year is nigh, we must still focus on our School Values - Respect,
Courage, Friendship, Equality, Determination, Inspiration and Excellence.
I would ask for your support in reinforcing these with
your children, as well as ensuring that your child comes to school in uniform.
Congratulations to Zahra Ahmed, Talha Hassan Nabiha Naziha, San Aiden Singh, Qasim Javaid,
Faraz Jahangir, Yana Puddoo, Aaminah Zaman, Arfa Razzaq, Sana Naushad,
Junaid-Ur Rahman, Maha Folad, Saad Khan, Jamaal Mamsa, Anisa Choudhury, Aliya
Patel, Huzarifa Hamid, Ismail Patel,
Ishaaq Ahmed who all received a gold merit. Well done to you all.
CFA Summer Fair, This Thursday 3.15pm—5pm
We have sold hundreds of tokens for the Games Stalls,
so that you can use them instead of money on Thursday. Please note that
although tokens will be on sale at the fair, queues will be very long, so I
would encourage you to get them in advance. Raffles tickets will also be on
sale before and after school—50p each or a strip of 5 for £2. Please also note,
there is no entrance fee.
All classes will be dismissed promptly at 3.10pm so
that teachers can help on the stalls. Please note Year 6 will be dismissed from
the gate by the changing room, to ease the congestion that is likely to occur.
I would ask Year 6 parents to wait by that gate on the pavement in the car
park. Please remember you will still need cash for the food and private stalls.
We will have a wide range of items available.
We are aiming to raise money to purchase more outdoor
gym equipment for the children’s use. Do come along and join this fun,
community event.

Happy Puzzle Company
We are very pleased with the
outcome of the recent Happy Puzzle event in the school. Our children had a
fantastically fun and challenging time, solving a variety of puzzles. Children relished
the opportunity to extend and develop their logic and reasoning skills. Well
done to all who took part.
Parent Questionnaires
Please provide us feedback
by going to the school website and completing the on-line questionnaire. Your
feedback is very important to us.
Universal
Free School Meals As you know, all children under the age of 7 years will
be provided with a school meal every day from September 2014. However, families
on low income, who are eligible for free school meals, still need to apply for
their eligibility, so that the
school does not lose out on essential funding. This is very
important as this money is used to provide support to children. We will be able
to provide support in school for those
who need help with their on-line application.
In
order to prepare ahead for this major operational change from September, from
next week, we will begin feeding all Reception children in the Small Hall. We
will also be running a Free Trial Day on Tuesday 1st July 2014, when all children
in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, will have a free school meal. This is to enable
us to address any issues arising ahead of September 2014.
A
letter with more information will follow shortly.
Violin Tuition For
Years 2—6 There are a few spaces
left for Violin Lessons which take place every Tuesday. Children have lessons
with the Violin Teacher during school hours. If you would like your child to
take part from September 2014, please contact the office. The amount payable is
£35.00 per term.
IT Workshop Cranbrook is hosting an IT workshop on 23th June from
9.30am-11am. If you would like help to set up an email account, download free
apps, finding out about how to keep track of what your child is looking at on
the internet, set up parental controls and understand privacy settings. Please
come along. Refreshments will be provided and certificates and goody bags will
be awarded. To reserve a place or to find out more, please contact Beverley on
0208 518 2562.
Crossing The Road I am sad to hear that a number of parents are not
helping their children across the road in an appropriate manner. Those children
who come to school on their bikes must get off their bikes to cross the road
where the crossing lady is positioned. Some children are crossing the road on
the bikes almost causing serious accidents. Please could you take extra care
and make sure the children come off their bikes when crossing the road.
