Dear Parents,

KEY MESSAGE OF THE WEEK!

Please can you help your children learn their maths facts for the quiz they will receive in Maths Week next week. If
you can sponsor your childs efforts, it would be hugely appreciated. We are currently resourcing our Maths learning
and teaching with some fantastic equipment to help all our children with their future learning. All funds from your
sponsorship will go towards the very best experiences and resources to help your children in the future.
NURSERY CLOSED THURSDAY 22
ND
MAY
Just a quick reminder to our nursery parents that nursery will be closed for a full day on Thursday 22
nd
May due to the
Local and European Elections. The nursery will resume as normal for the Friday sessions.
SCHOOL DINNERS SANDWICH SELECTION
Our school kitchens will be offering a choice of sandwiches after our half term break for children that prefer a packed
lunch style of meal. Debbie, our school cook, is offering a choice of ham, cheese, tuna and jam for children
considering having school dinners instead of parents preparing a packed lunch. Children taking up this packed lunch
style dinner will also receive a dessert of the day and have free access to the salad bar, fresh fruit and drinks. Please
let the office know if you are interested in taking advantage of this after half term by completing the slip attached and
return to the school office. The cost is 2.30 per day therefore 11.50 per week. This will help us prepare an
appropriate amount of sandwiches to meet with your childs demand.
SAINSBURYS ACTIVE KIDS
I would like to remind parents that the Sainsburys Active Kids vouchers will not be given out in store after the 20
th

May. Therefore we are only collecting vouchers up until 23
rd
May which is the last day before we break up for half
term. This allows us to order brand new equipment over the holidays ready for when your children return to school.
We currently have 19,000 vouchers which is fantastic! Dont forget to bring in any vouchers you have at home and
hand them in at the office or post them into any of the secure boxes around school.
LIMITED NURSERY AVAILABILITY
We currently have some spaces left for our nursery in September. If you have a child who is already 3 or will turn 3
before September you can apply for either 5 morning sessions 8.30-11.30am or 5 afternoon sessions 12.15-3.15pm. If
you are interested in your child starting in our nursery please come to the office and fill out an application form.
SPORTS DAY
Sports day is coming up very soon in our school calendar so please check the dates for your childs sports day at the
back of this newsletter. Fingers crossed the weather will stay dry enough for the events to go ahead!
WALTON LE DALE CRICKET CLUB
Walton le Dale Cricket Club are looking for players for their under 11 team. If your child is in year 4, 5 or 6 and would
like to give it a try, training is every Friday at 6pm at Walton le Dale Cricket Club. For more information visit
www.wldcc.co.uk or email under11s@wldcc.co.uk
FUNDS FOR SCHOOLS
As you may be aware our clothing bin has been in school since July 2013 and we have collected 580 kilos of clothes!
We receive 50p per kilo which goes into school funds to help improve our school and buy resources for your children.

Wednesday Weekly Newsletter
Through working together, the best is yet to come
www.wldps.com
We want to try and reach 800 kilos by July so over the next few weeks and half term have a clear out a bring in any
clothes, shoes, towels, bags, bedding or soft toys so we can try to meet our target!
UNIFORM
As you will be aware all our uniform is sold at Bamber Bridge Sports. We still have some stock left over which we
would like to offer you at a very discounted price. You will not find uniform cheaper than this as it is less than half the
normal price! As we do not normally sell the uniform we only have a few items left in limited sizes.
Fleeces 5.00 age 5-6
Sweatshirts 4.00 age 3-4 and 9-10
White PE T-Shirt for nursery only 2.00 age 3-4 (xs) and 5-6 (s)
All of these are available at the school office. Please feel free to come and try the sizes and grab a bargain.
48 HOURS FOR SICKNESS
We seem to be having a few cases of sickness/diarrhoea in the past week or two. To help prevent this from
spreading may I please ask that you keep your child home from school for 48 hours from the last episode.
RETURNING SCHOOL TEAM SPORTS KITS
Following the rugby and football tournaments last term, I would like to kindly request that all school kits (socks, shorts
and jerseys) be returned as soon as possible so that we can use them for other forthcoming events in the calendar.
Please scour your drawers and cupboards for these items if they have been borrowed from us.
