Weekly reminders for week beginning 29th February 2016

It was lovely to see the Clockhouse Community back last week and to hear about all your holiday adventures.

Please do not forget that it is Parents Evening on Tuesday and Wednesday, please see your child's class teacher on Monday if you need to book an appointment.

As we are sure you are already aware it is World Book Day on Thursday. For this we have asked that the children come to school dressed as a book character of their choice. Any questions please ask your child's class teacher.

Year 5
We look forward to welcoming our Year 5 parents for Learn with my Child on Friday morning at 9.30am. The morning will finish at 11.45am. Please come for as little or as much as you can. Regrettably we are unable to accommodate younger siblings at these events.

Sport
Good luck to the netball team who play local rivals Crownfield away on Monday and the to swimming team who take part in the Borough Gala on Tuesday afternoon - a new sporting venture for Clockhouse. Good luck also to the Tag Rugby team who play St. Peters away on Friday.

Have a good week everyone!
