Spring Term Clubs

The online booking form which you can use to book your child onto this term’s Clubs is now available here.

Please remember that you only need to fill this out for after school clubs. We are also running some drop-in lunchtime clubs which the children are already aware of if they’re eligible to come along. Thanks.

 

As I expect you’ll remember, Harbour is the Bideford charity supporting homeless and deprived people in our locality. The school collected an amazing range of food items for their drop-in kitchen back at Harvest Time. This term, Eco Club will be collecting unwanted toileteries so please send in any you may have left over from Christmas. The children then make up gift bags for the charity and will send in at Easter. Donations of facecloths, toothpaste, deodorants, combs, shower gel and toothbrushes especially welcome! Thanks.

Please remember Global Voice are looking for raffle donations for their Edukid Disco next Friday. If you have anything suitable, please place it in the Edukid box in the Office Foyer. Thank you.

Family Group Points

This term, we only work towards a single Family Group Treat as there are so few weeks leading up to Easter! The children came up with some suggestions for the next treat – ranging from the usual “day off school” to a “day at the beach” (in March…!). In the end, we’ve settled for a Crazy Hair Day for the winning Family Group which will take place on Friday 27th March. Here are the points for the first two weeks of term:

  1. Oak   99
  2. Willow   91
  3. Sycamore   88
  4. Beech   85
  5. Hazel   82
  6. Elder    72
