Pelican News: 6 May 2016
Our ‘Very Big Important Meeting’ took place on Wednesday and our charity was decided; we will be
supporting Save the Children by getting involved with Den Day on Friday 17 June. The decision was fairly
unanimous with Race for Life being the second most popular choice. Nearer the time we will be talking
with the children about what sort of dens they would like to create which may require some donations /
loans of old sheets / blankets / large cardboard boxes etc. in order to realise their ambitions. We will set a
charge for the children to take part and will also invite you in at the end of the day to come and see the
creations. It should be a really fun day and all for a very worthy cause.
Our other exciting news was the ‘big reveal’ of this year’s summer show, ‘Pirates Versus Mermaids’! As you
can imagine from the title alone, this has appealed to many! We begin learning the songs next week so
advanced apologies that you are likely to hear these songs on a loop from now until the end of term!
Sun Hats
There are still quite a few children who do not have a named sun hat in school. Please could all children
have one from next week.
Rash Vests
We advise the children in Reception, Year 1 and 2 to bring a rash vest in for swimming sessions. The pool
area is quite a sun-trap and although we apply sun cream, a rash vest is a much safer option to protect
them from the rays.
Sainsbury’s Vouchers
The last of the vouchers have now been issued so please bring any you find to Mrs Passmore’s class ready
for our grand totalling exercise at half term. Thank you.
Book Fair
Our Book Fair takes place next Tuesday in the main school library. You are very welcome to take your
children to visit either before school or after school up to 5.00pm. Please note we are not planning to visit
the Book Fair with the children during the course of the day. However if your child goes home on the bus
or will be at TT Club beyond 5.00pm we are happy to take him/her to the Book Fair if you wish for them to
buy a book.

Lost Property
Nicolas Du Toit’s school jumper (named) has been misplaced. If it has accidentally made its way to your
house, please could you return it to Mrs Kittow. Thank you.
Nursery 2
We have been building lots of 'houses' this week after exploring the story of 'The Three Little Pigs'. If you
have any large boxes that you would like recycled we would love for the children to take part in a 'Big Build'
using lots of cardboard boxes.
Year 1
Mrs Yeabsley would like all of the children to bring in a large (clean and empty) tetra pack container (juice
carton) for a forthcoming project. Thank you.

Nursery 1
The children looked at pictures and used words to describe the Eiffel Tower. They worked in small groups
to create their very own Eiffel Towers using spaghetti and marshmallows!
Nursery 2
The children have enjoyed taking it in turns to use our new interactive talking pen. The pen talks in a variety
of languages including Mandarin and French. The children press the pen on the words in the book and then
choose a language, together they take it in turns to repeat the words that they hear.
Thank You Mystery Reader from Reception!
