Kids Lunch Company

As we have previously mentioned, we will be moving to cold lunches for pupils in September while we continue to investigate hot lunch solutions for the future. We would appreciate it if you could fill in the Google form (link below) to give us an indication of whether you think you will be taking up the lunches provided by the Kids Lunch Company or not.

We do need to hear from parents/carers of all children who will be in school in September. Thank you to those who have completed the form already.

If your child has allergies, intolerances or special food requirements, we can make provision for this, but we will need you to complete the Specific Dietary Needs form. Please ask for one at the office.

Named carrier bags

The children will start bringing home their exercise books next week to show you the work they have been doing in school this year. 

Please could all children bring in a named carrier bag next week, as the children will be bringing home their work from the year.

Uniform reminder

We would like to remind families about the uniform policy in readiness for next year. Please read the uniform list below. We would specifically like to mention that all children must have black trainers for PE.

We have noticed a number of book bags have charms and keyrings. We kindly ask for no charms and keyrings on book bags next year. This leads to children getting upset when they fall off, break or go missing.

Creative Week

• Deadline: Monday 15^th July

We are creating a large school mural made of recycled materials, and we would love to gather a rainbow of colours. Please could children bring in any small recycling that could be collaged to our canvas? We will be using a rainbow of colours so we will not need any blacks, whites or greys. 

Sunflower competition

• Deadline: Friday 19^th July

How are your sunflowers doing? Don't forget to let us know your sunflowers' height before Friday 19th. Please send us a photo of your child standing next to it.

Library books

Next week will be the last library session of the year for all year groups. We will be collecting library books and bags during the week. If you have any library books at home, please send them in next week.

Year 2 parents are now able to order a JPEG of their child's first day at school on ParentPay for £3. It is a lovely memento of your child's time at Sandygate. You won't believe how much they've grown!

Thank you to Katie Fallows who has organised this lovely little fundraiser for the second year running.

Please note: if your child wasn’t there on the first day / started later during the school year, unfortunately there won’t be a photo - thank you for your understanding.

Campers - your last chance for a good night's sleep is limited to the next 2 evenings! We're very excited to see you allo Saturday from 4pm. Please remember to take the time to read through the information that you have been sent and if we could ask that cars are parked overnight in the car park behind Gweneth Court in respect to our school neighbours. It's going to be great fun, we can't wait.

Date: Saturday 13^th to Sunday 14^th July

The PFA AGM will take place Thursday 18^th July at 7pm at school. This is a shorter meeting than usual, legally required to take place each year.

We will have drinks and snacks to celebrate our achievements over the last year and would love to see as many people as possible. We are looking for new committee members to start from next year, so please come along or talk to us if you're interested.

The events the PFA puts on are valued by everyone in the school and the money raised is really necessary for the daily running of the school as well as funding a lot of the school trips etc.

Please feel free to speak to Rachel Bourdillon, Lauren King, Caro Robinson, Mandy Rooney, Charlotte Thompson or Claire Robinson for more information.
