The summer fair and picnic will be on Thursday 10th July starting at 1.00pm. The children will be learning about Greek Cypriot culture and traditional costume and will be using this as the theme for the day.

Children can come in traditional Cypriot costumes or in holiday wear (no swimwear).

There will be a range of activities to include children's entertainer, face painting, games, various stalls, refreshments, raffle etc.

Once again, in order to make this as successful as in previous years we are holding out the 'begging bowl' and asking for donations of good quality books, bric-a-brac, soft toys, raffle prizes and holiday items for a holiday tombola. (If you could send some sunshine that would be good too!)

Below are some photos from last year's summer fair. It was a huge success and the theme was Independence Day! As you can see much fun was had by all...

We are having a non-uniform day on Tuesday 8th July and would like to ask that the children donate a small token prize in the same colour as their class.

• F1 - White
• F2 - Red
• Y1 - Green
• Y2 - Blue
• Y3 - Yellow
• Y4 - Orange
• Y5 - Pink
• Y6 - Purple

All donations will be used during the Summer Fair/ Picnic.

As always we thank you for your continued support.

Each family can have a maximum of 2 tickets in the first instance. If you would like to be considered for further tickets the please let Mrs Lee in the office know.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ANY CHILD NURSERY AGE OR ABOVE COMING TO THE CONCERT WILL REQUIRE A TICKET, BABIES AND TODDLERS MUST SIT ON AN ADULT'S KNEE AND NOT TAKE UP A SEAT.

All tickets will be numbered to correspond to a seat number so parents will not need to arrive too early on concert days. Please ensure that you bring your tickets, as no-one will be admitted without one, to ensure that we comply with strict Health, Safety and Fire regulations on numbers. We thank you in anticipation of your co-operation in this matter to aid us in making sure everyone can be seated and enjoy the concert.

Please ensure your child has their costumes ready for the dress rehearsal which will be Thursday 6 December.

The infants are currently practising very hand for our Christmas Concert, 'The Tale of the Little Donkey.' As usual though, we need your help with costumes! Unless your child has a specific part, White Base (F1s and F2s) will be dressed as angels, Green Base will be dressed as shepherds or inn-keepers and Blue Base will be dressed as Kings/ Wise men. Narrators will be given a choice this year and can be any of the above. The children who have special paers will be told about their costumes individually. Please could all children bring their costumes in a named carrier bag.

Thanks for your support.

Our Year 5 and 6 children have been invited to Carol sing in the Frenchgate Centre on Wednesday 5 December from 10.00am until 11.45 am. Children will be back in school for their lunch as normal. If you would like to go and support them we have been advised they will be standing near the new food court.

We look forward to seeing you all there!
