Dear Parent/ carer
Summer Newsletter 1
Our Value this month is Courage.
It’s difficult to believe that we have already arrived at the Summer term. This is traditionally a very busy term, with a
number of additional events and activities, including trips, sports day and Year 4 Swimming. Each year group still has
some exciting topics to work on, and the children have settled down well after the Easter break.
This newsletter is primarily a set of dates to fix in your calendar. Many of them will have more details to follow, but I
think it’s important that you are aware when significant dates for your child will be happening.
Maternity update
I’m happy to report that Mrs LeGrande gave birth at the end of the Easter holiday to a healthy baby girl. She has
been named Eva. I‘m sure you all join me in sending our heartfelt congratulations to Mr and Mrs LeGrande. We look
forward to meeting Eva very soon.
New Staff Welcome
Mr Mardle (Kangaroos) and Miss Elliott (Pandas) have joined the Lawnside team. They have settled in well and are
already showing their value. I’m sure you join me in welcoming them to Lawnside and wish them well during their
time here.
Absence for Sickness
This is just a brief reminder that children who have been sick should remain off school for 48 hours afterwards.
Before Easter we had a couple of children who returned too soon and a tummy bug spread like wild fire, particularly
among our younger children in Reception. Thank you for your consideration.
