If you have spoken to Miss Poole in Spencer Class this week you might have noticed that her once very long hair has been cut and she has donated it to the Little Princess Trust so that it can be made into wigs for children who have lost their hair through illness. Resources on the Playground During half term we re-organised the toys and resources on the playground so that the children have a much wider variety to play with at lunchtimes and the Lunchtime Assistants don’t have so many boxes to move around each day. The consequences of this are that: Þ You will see many blue plastic covers on this equipment to keep it in one place and dry Þ The children should not be using these http://www.thegivingmachine.co.uk REMEMBER, REMEMBER..........

Next week there will be photographs of the equipment that should be in each house to help the children keep it tidy—if your children are in the play houses before school please make sure that they tidy up before going to into class. The play houses and climbing equipment should not be used after school as they have been tidied ready for the next school day. Collecting from After School Activity Clubs We apologise for any inconvenience but from next Monday 27 April, parents will no longer be able to use the school car park to collect the children from after school clubs. The car park is too busy at this time with deliveries, visitors and staff in vehicles and it would be very unfortunate to have an accident here. Please park off site on either Sandridge Road, Seymour Road or Archers Fields. Thank you. Contact us: governors@bernardsheath.herts.sch.uk bernardsheath.pta@gmail.com
