Open Evening (Tuesday 24 June- 5-7pm)
Our summer Open Evening is on Tues 24 June, between 5:00pm and 7:00pm. This gives you the chance to look at some of your child’s work over the past year, have an informal chat with your child’s current teacher and to introduce yourself to your child’s teacher for next year.
Newsflash- I know that this coincides with England’s next football match. This will be shown live in the hall.
Sports’ Day (Friday 4 July- 9am)
We can now confirm the dates for Sports’ Day. Providing the weather is fine Sports’ Day will be held on Friday 4 July. If not, then it will be held on Tuesday 15 July. It will start at 9am. Parents and Grandparents are more than welcome to come and watch Sports’ Day.
The PTA committee will be running a stall on the day selling Bacon and Sausage Rolls/ Teas/ Coffees/ Soft Drinks and Ice Poles. Children will be able to purchase drinks at break time (11:00 to 11:20am).

FIFA have announced changes to the football kits to be worn in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup.
All teams must select their kit from the following options:
Shirt – red, yellow, orange or green.
Shorts – black, white or blue.
Socks – red or green.
Boots – must be black.
All items have to be made of a single colour. There is to be no patterns, logos or sponsors.

Use the kit outline (available on the maths challenge board) to help you create all the possible kit combinations.
