06 July 2009

It does not seem possible that we are nearly at the end of another school year. Here are a few last reminders about events during the last two weeks. Please can I remind you that hats, sunscreen and lots of bottled water are a must at this time of year and particularly when we are doing activities or going on trips. Your child’ school report will be sent home tomorrow, please acknowledge receipt of report by returning form which will accompany it.

Student Voice Conference:
Mrs White will be taking three members of the school council to the Student Voice Conference at Cedars Upper School, tomorrow (Tuesday 7^th July.)

Transfer Day / New classes
Children transferring to Fulbrook Middle school will need to be taken to and collected from Fulbrook on Wednesday 8^th July. (Did you return your forms to Fulbrook?) Children who are going to other middle schools will be expected at Ridgmont as usual. Children who are changing classes in September will be spending all morning in their new class with their new teachers. Part time children will be having a Teddy Bears Picnic. Remember to bring a special bear!

Open Morning:
We are looking forward to seeing lots of parents on open morning this Thursday 9^th July. The children will be singing and dancing and ‘Lets Get Cooking’ club will be providing the refreshments.

Healthy Schools Magic Show:
At 1:30 the children will be enjoying the Magic Show this year the theme is ‘Change for Life.’

Year 4 BBQ
All the year 4 children from the other local lower schools will be joining us for our annual leavers BBQ starting at 6:30. Please collect children at 8pm.

Bugsy Malone:
On Monday 13^th July, all our class 3 children have been invited to watch Fulbrook Middle School’s performance of ‘Bugsy Malone’ 

The children will be taken from Ridgmont to Fulbrook Middle School by minibus at about 1.30pm for the performance at 1.45pm. They should be wearing their usual school uniform.  Parents should collect their children from Fulbrook at 3.35 pm.

Please complete and return the permission slip below and let us know who will be collecting your child at the end of the day. (Water Bottles Please)

Parent Questionnaire:  (form included)
Every year we send out a parent questionnaire to seek the views of the parents (the children will be filling in theirs at school.) It is really important that we get as many responses as possible so please return them to school before the end of term.

Parent Mail: (form included,  not year yr 4 children)
You may remember that we asked you all about ‘Parent Mail’ which is keeping in touch with parents by text messaging and e-mail. The response we had was very positive and this service will be set up ready for September. (Please return completed forms by Monday 13^th July so this can be organised.)

Uniform:
Please donate any uniform that your children have grown out of. Parents find it really useful to be able to make use of the opportunity to purchase good quality second hand clothing very cheaply. (Donation to school fund).  

Diary dates for your information are as follows:

Yours sincerely
