Dear All,

Thank you to all of you who sent in bottles to support the PTA last Friday. Your generosity is much appreciated. Every one of you is part of the PTA by virtue of being a parent. Unfortunately there is a decreasing number of people able to come to PTA meetings. If there is a better time or place to hold them which would enable you to come along please let me know. If there is something putting you off from coming along please let me know then we can look at ways of involving more people.

On Tuesday night we were treated to a fabulous concert. A huge thank you goes out to the children who performed, the music teachers who helped the children prepare and Mrs Hillier who organised it. An extra thank you goes out to Mrs Elliott who played for us what a treat!

The Year 6s have been visiting their new schools this week. All the reports we have had back from the children are good.

Letters have gone out to all the children who will be in years 3-6 next year about fruit. If your child would like fruit next term please remember to return the slip. We cannot guarantee fruit for children who return their slips late.

Just a quick reminder that children in Years 3-6 pay for school dinners so the present Y2s will start paying from September, they cost £2 a day. If you think you might be eligible for free school meals you can apply by phoning 01629 536400/535743 by email: checking@derbyshire.gov.uk or at www.derbyshire.gove.uk/freeschoolmeals.

On Friday the Kestrels will be leading our assembly. The following Friday 13th July the Harriers will be leading it. Do join us if you can.

On Tuesday 10th July 2.30-3.30 it is enterprise day. In houses the children are going to be making things to sell. You are welcome to come and be a customer and or send your child in with a bit of money to spend. Please do support this event. We are also having the grand hair-cut. If anyone would like to sponsor the pupil please send a donation in in a labelled envelope.

Remember clubs finish today so only PAS is still on next week.

Next week is performance week for Merlins and Eagles. The evening performance on Tuesday 6.30 is a sell out so you must remember your ticket. We will not be able to admit people without one. The children need to be back at school for 6pm. There are still some tickets left for Wednesday afternoon.
