TERM 5 TRIPS AND VISITS
The trips and visits for Term 5 are live on ParentPay and cost £14. 75 per term, we ask that contributions are made by Monday, 13 May.
The cost of entrance fees, educational workshops, coaches, etc, has increased significantly in the last year. As well as your contribution, the school will also be contributing a significant amount towards the trip costs, as we feel they are vitally important to the children. This means the amount you pay has been kept as low as possible as we are aware of the cost of living crisis, however, should there be insufficient contributions received, a trip or experience may unfortunately not go ahead.
The details of what the pupils have to look forward to in Term 5 are as follows:
EYFS - Visit to Bristol Aquarium on Thursday, 25 April 2024.
Year 1 & 2 - Visit to Hawk Conservancy Andover on Tuesday, 23 April.
Year 3 & 4 - Walk to River Marden on Thursday, 25 April.
Year 5 & 6 - Indus Valley Drama Workshop in School on Thursday 25 April.
RAGS TO RICHES COLLECTION - THURSDAY 2 MAY
Our next Rags to Riches collection will be on Thursday, 2 May. We will be sending bags home this week for you fill with your unwanted clothes and footwear. Please see the list below which states what we can and cannot accept. Please leave your filled bags at the end of the driveway before 9.00 am on Thursday, 2 May. We raised over £150 with our last collection, let's see if we can beat this total this time. All the money raised goes into our School Fund which helps fund extra resources for the pupils at Priestley. Thank you in advance for your support.
SWIMMING - YEAR 4
Swimming Lessons will start for the year 4 pupils after half term, due to the size of the year group we have decided to split everyone into 2 groups. Your child has been informed which group they are in and letters have been sent home, if you have not returned your permission slip, please return this as soon as possible. The dates for each group are as follows:
Blue Group - Monday, 26 February - Monday 25 March
Green Group - Monday 15 April - Monday 20 May ( not including the bank holiday)
We ask for a contribution from parents of £3 per lesson (£15 for the 5 weeks), payable on ParentPay. Please remind your child to bring their swimming kit to school on Mondays.
