Dear Parents/Friends/Guardians 3^rd March 2006

Year 2 School Trip

Please note that the Year 2 children will be leaving early on their trip to London next Tuesday 7^th March. The coaches will be waiting on Deanway from around 8.30am, so please be aware that there may be some congestion on the main road as a result until they leave at 8.45am. Year 2 parents are reminded to bring their children to school by 8.30am, as detailed in the letter concerning the trip. Thank you.

Sandwiches

Another plea from the dinner ladies – please ensure you give your child sandwiches/bread/drinks that they like. Far too many children are saying they don’t like what is in their sandwiches etc and this is causing a lot of difficulties at lunchtime.

Results of ‘Evaluate’ Questionnaire

We have had the results of the ‘Evaluate’ questionnaire. Thank you all for your input and a summary will be included in the next newsletter. It has been very useful for us to see which areas came out as areas to improve, and we will be addressing all those issues which have arisen from the results.

World Book Day

Well done to everyone who dressed up as their favourite Book character – it was super to see such a lovely display! The children were all given a special book voucher to put towards the cost of a book.

Art Display

A variety of art work from each class was included in a vibrant display at the Amersham County Offices. The display has been up for 2 weeks and has inspired many flattering comments from staff and visitors to the council offices, so well done to all the children!

Wycombe Wanders After School Club

Please ensure your child’s footwear is clean if changing in school. Mr Nash has had to clean up trails of mud in the classrooms and corridors. Thank you.
