# Weekly Newsletter

**Let your light shine through family, friendship and faith**

**Sports Day Monday 24th July**

We were disappointed not to be able to hold our sports day last Friday due to the weather.  Both staff and children are very keen for us to do a sports day if possible, and because of changes over the last couple of days of term we now have Monday afternoon available to try again.  As this is a Monday any decision to cancel will need to be made that morning, so if this is the case will inform you by text at 9am.

**Holiday Club**

Thank you to all those who have booked on to holiday club.  The club is open every day from 26th July to 1st September.

**End of Year Service**

Our end of year service will take place on Friday morning in church.  Please take your child directly to church between 8.45am and 8.55am.  The service will begin at 9am.

**Year 4 Leavers Picnic**

This will take place at 1pm on Tuesday 25th July, on the field if the weather allows.  Mrs Broome has contacted Year 4 parents separately.

**Regards,**

**Mr J Gordon**
