Keeping Safe - Don't Touch Tell

On Monday, John Piper visited school with some very important messages about alcohol and drugs awareness. He left children with two simple messages: DON'T TOUCH TELL and DON'T DRINK THINK!

Chewing Gum

I would like to remind you of our school's policy regarding chewing gum. For the sake of maintaining a clean and hygienic environment, we kindly request that children refrain from chewing gum in school.

Sports Day - Wednesday 3rd July

*Please note change of date due to General Election*

General Election Day - Thursday 4th July

As you are probably aware a General Election will take place on Thursday 4th July. The school will be used a Polling Station.

We are planning an off-site sponsored walk for children around Minera Quarry and Lead Mines to avoid any further school closures for elections. Further details to follow.

Training Day - Friday 5th July

School will be closed on Friday 5th July for a Staff Training Day.

The Friends of Minera

Our next committee meeting will be on Thursday 13th June at 3.15 in the Year 3/4 classroom. We would love to have some new members join us, especially as Rachel and Claire are leaving us this summer. Please come along on Wednesday for a cuppa to meet our small committee and find out what we do. (the children can play in the practical area)

Please remember to use easyfundraising for your online purchases/bookings/click and collect orders. If you are still going to book a holiday don't forget there are some very generous easyfundraising donations from holiday companies - Tui, Haven, Virgin holidays, etc.

If you've not yet signed up for easyfundraising please do so.

There is a banner up at school with a QR code which you can scan with your mobile...... it's as easy as that!

Also, remember we still need your used batteries and bags of unwanted clothing.

Thank you for your support.
