As mentioned in the newsletter sent out on 7th March, we wil be celebrating Easter this year with our traditional Easter Bonnet Parade tomorrow at 9:00am. Weather permitting, we will walk around the village and you are all welcome to join us (sporting bonnets of your own if you like!) 

You are also invited to join us at 1:15pm in school to make Easter wreaths. We plan to walk across to the church for our service at around 2:00pm. This will last approximately 20-30mins. You will then be able to take your child(ren) home early. We look forward to seeing you!

We recently sent a message regarding Radio Derby wanting to interview parents and children about sun safety.  This is a chance for our pupils and school to gain the recognition they deserve.  Please can parent/carers confirm whether they and/or their children are willing to take part by tomorrow morning - it would be a shame to miss out on this fabulous opportunity. Thank you.

We are proud to be a Sun Safe School.

To mark ten years since the presenter Colin Bloomfield died of melanoma at the age of 33, Radio Derby have joined forces with Sckin again to help make 100 schools sun safe in Derbyshire and East Staffordshire.  Radio Derby has chosen our school to do some live and/or recorded interviews with children, parents and staff about the importance of staying safe in the sun and what we do to keep our pupils educated and safe.  They would like to interview some children and parents, so you would need to be at school to start promptly at 8:15am on Friday 25^th April.  Please let us know if you and/or your children are interested in being involved in the broadcast by 9am on Friday 4^th April.  Please be aware that they may not have time to interview everybody.  Thank you.

As part of their 'My Healthy Heart' topic (human circulatory system) Mrs Machell will be showing Class 1 children a lamb or pig's heart on Monday, purchased from a local supermarket. This is entirely optional - any child not wishing to participate will be in another room completing other heart-related work. 

Please send in any outstanding parent/carer consultation slips by tomorrow.

We are trying extremely hard to accommodate everyone’s preference but this is proving difficult when so many have not been returned – appointments will be sent out tomorrow so please be aware that if yours is not returned we may not be able to give the time slot you requested.

Thank you.
