This week’s headlines:

 

Farewell to Mrs Scott

 

Mrs Scott will be retiring at the end of this school year. Since joining the Old Dalby family in 2013 as teacher in Class 1, Mrs Scott has taken on many roles including SENDCo and Deputy Head – it is hard to imagine what it is going to be like without her. Not only has she been an inspiring and nurturing teacher, she is a source of calm and knowledge for colleagues too, as well as a great friend. There are not enough ways to say how much we will miss her but wish her the very best in her next adventures!

 

Celebrating the Coronation

We will be celebrating the King’s coronation by wearing red, white and blue on Friday, 12^th May.

Please bring in a sweetie jar/surprise jar to donate to the PTA summer fair.

 

This is also the last day of Year 6 SATs so it will be a double celebration for some! The Prefects are going to be planning the afternoon which will include a visit from Rev’d Jamie with some very special gifts for everyone from the Church. More information will follow, as soon as arrangements have been made.

 

Summer Fair – Sunday, 21^st May

Can you help our PTA?

They need donations of:

Ø Tombola prizes for adults and children

Ø Soft toys and teddies for the teddy tombola

Ø Bottles of wine
