These photos (taken by Mr Brook) all have something in common.
Every child has a smile on their face - so do the spectators.
Well done to all the staff for putting on such an enjoyable event.

Cricket Team Narrowly Miss Out on Place at National Finals

Our school cricket team took part (on Monday) in the Suffolk Cricket Finals.
They won 4 out of 5 matches vs St Loius Middle (Newmarket), Nayland, Holbrook and Polars (Ipswich).
The crucial game was against Beyton Middle (Bury) - we lost by 5 runs in a game which we could easily have won. Beyton go though to the National Finals.
It was still a fine performance from our team. Sometimes you need a bit of luck in close matches.










Julian and Ethan played superbly throughout the tournament.
Julian took a hat trick in one match : 3 wickets in 3 balls.
Ethan hit 5 sixes in an over. He was only stopped from going for the perfect 6 sixes by a wide delivery from the bowler. Both were rare and amazing achievements.
Huge praise must also go to the rest of the team including Georgie Cantrell - one of only 2 girls playing in the boys tournament and more than holding her own.
A huge thanks to Mr Cantrell for all his support, grass cutting and coaching throughout the season.

REPORTS OUT – Friday 4 July
Pupils in Year 1-6 will be given their reports next Friday, please remind your children that the reports are addressed to parents and should not be opened until they are handed over to you.
The reports are very detailed, and therefore we will not be running formal parent consultations, however, if you feel that you would like to speak to your child’s teacher about the report, then please arrange a suitable time directly with the teacher.
Reception pupils will receive a report which will be discussed at the Parent Consultation meeting in their child’s classrooms on Tuesday 8 and Wednesday 9 July from 3.30-6.00pm; please sign up for a time on the list outside the Reception classrooms.
Nursery will be having Parent Consultations on Tuesday 8 July from 2.00-4.30pm  and Wednesday 9 July from 3.25-6.00pm. Please sign up for a timeslot on the list outside Nursery.

HEAD LICE – WE NEED YOU TO HELP!
This year there have been 34 outbreaks of head lice in school – effectively this is 1 a week!  Some classes have had 6 outbreaks. 
This sadly shows that all parents are not getting on top of the problem.  It only takes one parent to not check their child to cause another outbreak. Please can we ask again that parents are vigilant in checking for these little visitors in your children’s hair.

HITCHAM’S HUNDREDS LATEST TOTAL IS £4240
Deadline to collect the money from your sponsors and pay it into the office (with the form) in a well-sealed envelope with your child’s name & class on is now Wednesday 25 June. 
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE GENEROSITY OF YOUR SPONSORS & A HUGE WELL DONE TO ALL THE CHILDREN.
All the proceeds will go towards buying classroom equipment which all children will benefit from.

We hope the class photo proofs will arrive this week – we will circulate to children as soon as we can.
