Friday 15th March Comic Relief – Red Nose Day
Comic Relief
Friday 15th March This year, as always, we will be celebrating Red Nose Day. We will be having a non-uniform day as normal, but this time with a twist! As it’s Comic Relief, we are adding an extra element for those that wish to take part – funny faces! Feel free to add to your non uniform a silly wig, some bright glasses or some wild hair accessories. Make us all smile! (Please no face paint though – we don’t want any favourite clothes getting ruined!) Alongside this we will be running an interhouse joke competition. All children in the school are invited to participate – just write your favourite joke on a piece of paper. Remember to also write down your name and which house you are in. The school councillors and Mrs Patel will be judging the jokes and housepoints will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place. Please send all entries to Mrs Patel in Blue class. Donations can be made via our justgiving page on the link below. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/rnd24-minster-church-of-englandprimary-school-8c985b49-5cc2-49a7-b5f0- 092ed647e696?utm_source=copyLink&utm_medium=fundraising&utm_content=r nd24-minster-church-of-england-primary-school-8c985b49-5cc2-49a7-b5f0- 092ed647e696&utm_campaign=pfpshare&utm_term=fda5b5c157794a0ead083da9fb6e2d37
Easter
Children are invited to make a piece of Easter craft for our competition: EYFS and KS1 - an Easter bonnet KS2 – a traditional Easter Garden
All children – a decorated hard-boiled egg
Please make all competition entries at home and bring them into school the morning of Wednesday, 27th March. All designs should be clearly labelled with your child’s name and class. Please ensure you do clearly label your child’s creation otherwise it makes it very difficult to make sure that we get prizes to the right children! Children who design an Easter bonnet should take their entries directly into the class room on Friday. All “egg” entries and Easter gardens should be taken directly to the school hall first thing in the morning. At 10am there will be an Easter parade with the children wearing their bonnets. Judging for the gardens and the eggs will take place at lunchtime. Children will then take their entries home at the end of the day as this is the last day of term. All children entering will receive 5 house points. There will be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize awarded for each category, each of which will receive Easter egg prizes! We hope as many children as possible are able to take part.
On Thursday 21st March there will be no book club or dodgeball club after school due to the EYFS and KS1 disco. On Tuesday 26th March there will be no choir, board games club, Irish dance club or rugby club after school due to the KS2 disco. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
