Year 5-6 John Curran Cup 1st Round – more details to follow
We have received feedback from parents that some of the new uniform being ordered from the School-wear Centre is faulty (logo’s peeling off/neck holes ill-fitting) – if this is the case with any clothing you have purchased from them, please bring the clothing to the school office by Monday afternoon at the very latest. Please ensure any clothing is clearly named and the fault explained to us and we will raise this directly with the School-wear Centre.
Lost Property
Any lost property will now be taken to the office and kept there for a week. Any named items will of course be reunited with their owners. Any unnamed and unclaimed items will be donated to our pre-loved clothing or disposed of. Thank you for your understanding.
Responsible parking around school
Please be considerate when dropping off/picking up your children. Please do not park on double yellow lines, zig zag lines, on the path or close to the corners of the roads. Please respect our neighbours and do not park across their drive ways. Your children’s safety is of utmost importance to us all, but we have had a few reports of inconsiderate parking – please park away from the school and walk in if there is nowhere suitable to park.
Citizen’s Advice Drop in Sessions

- Research
- Observation over time
- Comparative + fair testing

These mascots will be put on our website and also used within lessons throughout the whole school!
When designing your mascot, think carefully about how it will promote that particular science skill – you may even want to give your mascot a name.
To enter, complete your design on an A4 piece of paper and hand in your entry to your class teacher by the 17th of May. The winners will have their designed mascot used throughout our school and also receive a certificate to recognise their achievement.

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.
