***Outdoor Learning Day Important Information***
We are now a week away from Outdoor Learning Day which takes place next Monday 20th May. Thank you to all the parents and carers who have already sent in reply slips and money. 
The reply slip on the form required you to tick either a packed lunched from school or a packed lunch from home, on some forms that we have received no information with regards to lunch.
We need to know asap whether your child is having a lunch from the school kitchen as they need to order the correct amount of food to ensure that there is enough for the packed lunches. Therefore we will send a reply slip out today with the Reception and KS1 children which needs to be returned by Wednesday 15th May at the very latest.
Kind regards
Miss Staniforth

year 3/4 Aquasplash
This event was a fun competition, and the children really enjoyed it. 10 schools entered, our boys team came 5th. The girls team came 3rd and were awarded with the bronze medal. Well done to our children who took part.
Newport Foodbank Donations
For many years now the school has been making donations at different times of the 
year to Newport Foodbank which provides vital support to people in the local community. As a school we have been asked to become a Newport Foodbank Donation Point which means that we can provide more regular support to those families who are most in need.
There is a clearly labelled box which will be located in the entrance area to school to put any items in if you are able to make a donation.
Please find attached a poster of items which are most needed.
We thank you in advance for any support you can give.

***Easter Winners***
Congratulations to Ruby A and Isla for winning these lovely Easter E
ggs for their responses to Mrs Hughes-Harvey’s half term RE display.
Congratulations also to the PTFA Easter Hamper Winners Maisie,Ethan and Reuben.
Easter Assembly
Yesterday morning Father Anthony and Deacon David joined the children to celebrate their Easter Assembly. This year Mrs Hughes-Harvey chose one of our favourite hymns ‘Servant King’ to base our Easter Assembly around, each of the Key Stage 2 classes took one verse of the hymn and focused on the meaning creating drama, dance and art work based work. Then Reception and KS1 children celebrated the joy of new life at Easter time with their artwork egg creations, poetry and song; finishing off with a parade of their wonderful Easter Bonnets and Hats which were made at home.
We decided not to invite parents this time, as children would miss out on experiencing the complete assembly and the messages it contains, as we cannot fit all the children plus parents together in our hall.
Therefore, a video has been made for you to view the assembly and listen to the beautiful singing. Currently, it is too large to upload to the school website. I will make it into two smaller videos which I hope to upload tomorrow so please check the school website.
