We are now running a competition to see who can grow the tallest sunflower. Please share photos of their progress and the tallest sunflower by the end of w/c 15^th July will win a prize on the 19^th July.

Act of Service

• Date: Tuesday 25^th June

During the morning, the Reception children will be walking to All Saints Church to perform their Act of Service.

We will be leaving school around 9.15am, walking to the church, tidying the churchyard and then heading to Higginson park for a (surprise) treat and a play in the park. We plan to return to school at around 11.30am.

We are looking for 7 parent volunteers to join us on this trip. If you would like to accompany us, please sign up here.

Can your child's class collect the most small change? We would love your coins, children are invited to bring in small change from home and pop it into the collection bucket in each classroom. The class that makes the most money by the end of June will win a mufti day. Pounds sterling only please.

Pounds sterling only please.

Date: The month of June

 

 

Roll up, roll up, the circus is back in town!

The ever popular Happy Circus will be returning to the school field on Sunday 22^nd September! This family circus show has been enjoyed by many children and families across the land and is a show not to be missed. Be mesmerised by the trapeze artists, amazed by the clowns' cheeky tricks whilst enjoying the breathtaking atmosphere inside the big top tent.

Here is a sneak preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ipGpGKTIEI

Tickets will go on sale shortly, watch this space!  Tickets will be available for the whole community so spread the word to family and friends outside of school too.

• Date: Sunday 22^nd September

Unfortunately, the PFA have had to make the difficult decision to cancel the summer ball. We didn't sell enough tickets or get the support we needed to be able to make the event viable or a success for those attending. Those who have bought tickets will be contacted via email to arrange a refund. Thank you to Lauren King and Rachel Bourdillon who worked hard behind the scenes trying to make the event work.

Have you been sleeping too well lately? Fear not, camp night is coming soon. Join us for a night on the school field on Saturday July 13^th. Tickets will be available on ParentPay from next Friday.

As the school year gets closer to its end, some of our PFA committee will be leaving Marlow Infants or just choosing to take on a smaller role next year. The PFA AGM will take place on 13^th July, and we would love to see some new faces with fresh ideas ready to take on the role of Chair (or Co-Chair!) and Co-Treasurer. For further details, see the job descriptions, but if you don't fancy those roles, don't despair. You can come along anyway! Sandygate PFA is great fun, there is lots of opportunity to make new friends and let your imagination run wild; we've had some great events over the last few years for all the family.

If you are interested and would like to chat face to face, come and find one of the current committee: Rachel Bourdillon, Claire Robinson, Lauren King, Daphne Howarth, Caro Robinson, Mandy Rooney or Charlotte Thompson.

You don't have to wait for the AGM either. The next PFA meeting will be Thursday June 13^th at 8pm.  The meeting will be held at school, but dial-in options will be available.
