Development Days - Monday July 20th and Tuesday 21st July. Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th September. School reopens Monday 7th September.
Many of you will have realised that Mrs Miles hasn’t been in school this week. Unfortunately her mother is seriously ill in hospital in Cambridgeshire and of course Mrs Miles needs to be with her. School will continue as usual and we hope it won’t be too long before she is able to join us again.
All the children enjoyed spending a lovely afternoon on Thursday in the class that they will be moving to in September. The staff spend a lot of time deciding which class is best suited to your child.
Well done and a very big thank you to everyone who helped make the Summer Fair such a big success last Saturday. A profit of £1500 was made and it was lovely to see everyone enjoying themselves.
The PTAs next event is the End of Term Summer BBQ on Friday 10th July, look out for your invitation coming home with your child shortly.
A desperate plea from Mrs Hayward. Did you purchase a dvd copy of Madagascar2 or Igor, at the Summer Fair? Mrs Hayward had rented them from Blockbuster for the penfriend visit but they got mixed up with the Summer Fair stuff and were sold! She would really appreciate their return and is happy to reimburse you with their sale price!
The very last day for returning your class photograph orders is Monday 6th July.
Check the menu on the back of this newsletter for details of the special Indoor BBQ meal on Monday.

Mrs Strand had a very sad e-mail from the IOW Zoo recently. A devastating cyclone has struck in India endangering the local population of tigers and they are very concerned that the tigers that are left are protected and managed to avoid further disaster. The IOW Zoo runs a project partnership in the area and would like schools that have benefited from educational visits to the Zoo to support a fund raising endeavour to help this project. Mrs Strand has agreed to help and would like to fund raise in two ways:
The Walmsley family are holding their annual Cake and Coffee Day in aid of the Earl Mountbatten Hospice on Saturday 4th July at 163 Park Road, Cowes. There will be live music and a visit once again from the Star Wars characters.. Contact Katie Walmsley on 07920104407 for further details.
