Dear Parents, Carers and Governors,

Polehampton Day!
This was a fantastic event today....I was pleased we were able to do most of our activities, even if not quite in the planned order! The Met. Office informed us that it would rain a lot by 12.00, which is why we decided to return here for lunch.

I do apologise if there were any disappointed people who didn't see the Yr1 dancing. We'll arrange another time to show parents that dance, as I know lots of people were looking forward to that.

The Yr5 Polehampton Play was fantastic and our Yr1 children performed their dance wonderfully inside instead.

Reminder - balloon race tickets
Don't forget to return any bought or unwanted tickets - the prize for the lucky winner is fantastic - a balloon ride for two people!!! So good luck!!

Bring Your Mum or Dad to lunch Week
We've received several notes requesting a dinner for next week - we forgot to mention the price on last week's letter. It's £1.88 for an adult dinner, so please pop the money in to your child's purse - thanks. We can't accept any more requests now, as Mrs Potter has ordered the food for next week.

PTA Summer Fair
I can't wait to see everyone at next Saturday's Summer Fair!
This event seems to get better every year, so do make sure it's in your diary.

Tesco Vouchers - Thank you!
Just to let you know what we're getting with our 23,000 or so vouchers. You may have heard the children talking about bee-bots (see picture on the web site on the curriculum page). We will be getting some additional resources to support using these fun, educational toys. We will also be ordering some Talk Time Cards, which enable children to record short sentences to prepare for writing tasks.

Class Hampers
