Dear Parents
We are now at a very busy time in the school year.
Winter Fair – Wednesday 27th November: This is a very important money raising event organised by Friends at Beecroft (FAB). We need – ornaments, books, toys, cakes and buns on the day, bottles. Please support by sending items for the stalls. Can you set a stall out on Wednesday 27th November for 1.15pm? You don’t have to come to FAB regularly as we need any help from any parents. Could you go on a stall for part or all of the time from 3.15-5.00 pm? Please fill in the slip below or ring the office. Thank you.
Family Assembly 6th December: Mrs Pat Gradys (Vice-chair of Governors) will present music medals to the 23 pupils in Years 4, 5 and 6 who have just taken their Associated Board of the Royal School of Music test. The flutes, violins and recorders will play a piece of music together at the assembly.
Children in Need: Many thanks for all the support with buns and spots. We raised £300 for Children in Need. Well done!
The Syrian Appeal raised £120
We have a lot to celebrate:
- Our music and drama goes from strength to strength
- Cookridge Primary School came to watch teaching on 14th November. They were overwhelmingly positive about the experience and commented on the excellent hospitality, impeccable behaviour of the pupils and high quality work from the pupils.
- ESOL classes to learn to improve Engilish – 13 parents attended and this will take place from January to March at Beecroft
- Our generosity in collecting for others – Children in Need, Syria, Philippines
- Our parental help from FAB and money raising. Thanks to FAB for a cheque for £1200 which will help towards new staging for our concerts and Oliver.
- There is much more that I am sure you can add.
