Tuesday 10th October Miss Hutson will be running a bake sale to mark World Mental Heath Day. Proceeds will go to MIND which is a Mental Health charity we have chosen to support. On the morning of the 10th October we would really appreciate it if you could bring a donation for the bake sale to school. Please remember that we are a nut-free school! Please send your child to school with a small amount of money with which they can purchase a cake. Prices will be from 50p. Thank you for your support - I for one am very happy to eat a piece of cake to support such a great charity!

As per the letter sent out earlier in the week, our harvest creature competition is back! Children can make a creature from fruit, vegetables or something that has grown naturally (such as twigs). These will need to be brought into school on Monday 25th September. There will be first, second and third prizes for each year group. We will be looking to see that children have created their creatures without too much adult help! Please make sure creatures come into school in a suitable container and are labelled with your child’s name and class. An amusing name for the creature is always a bonus!

Please send your child in winter uniform (tie, white shirt, school navy V-neck jumper, grey trousers/shorts/skirt) on this day (even if your child usually has PE). Children are automatically photographed with their Yattendon siblings unless you request individual photos only (via Studybugs). Unfortunately, the photographer doesn’t have time to take both individual photos and family photos for the same children and so it is a choice of one or the other.

I highly recommend you do the following if you haven’t already:

 Add your child’s class email to your contacts whilst you have the letter with it on.

 Please add the school email (info@) and telephone number if you haven’t got it on your phone.

 Download Scopay APP to your smart phone to pay for trips and lunches (and book parent evening appointments)

 Download Studybugs (as on previous page) if you haven’t already done this.

 Go to our website and click on ‘subscribe’ in the calendar section. All the school dates will be accessible from your phone.

 Keep reading the Friday Flyer! It will help you stay in touch with the busy life of the school!
