NO HOT DRINKS ON PLAYGROUND PLEASE
The Parent Council have recently raised a concern over hot drinks (in takeaway cups) being brought onto the playground, into assemblies or church by parents. The parent council has the support of the school’s health & safety committee in requesting that NO HOT DRINKS should be brought onto the school site or church when children are present.  Thank you for your co-operation.

MULTI-SPORTS AT FRAMLINGHAM COLLEGE
Framlingham College has been running a Multi-Sports afterschool club for pupils from our school for a number of terms now.  This term they did not hand out forms for the children to sign up, however any children in Year 5 and 6 are welcome to attend these sessions.
They run on WEDNESDAYS from 4.15-5.15 in the College SPORTS HALL.
Please just turn up there this week for a trial or to sign your child into the club.

EASTER SERVICE – PARENTS OF EM & JA INVITED IN AFTERNOON
We have decided to make a change to our Easter Service this year.  Children in classes EM & JA will be leading this service to the whole school in the morning and then again to parents in the afternoon.  Parents of these 2 classes are especially invited, but all parents/grandparents are welcome to come along to St Michael’s Church for this on Thursday 3 April at 1.30pm.
