Dear parents and carers,
Ash and Willow Class Production – Wednesday 10th July. 2.00pm
Family and friends are warmly invited to the end of year show by the children in these classes. It will be in the Village Hall; no booking required, but refreshments will be available.
Oak and Beech Class Production – Wednesday 17th July, 1.30pm and 6.00pm
This event will also be in the village hall and refreshments will be available before the performances. For the evening performance, your child needs to be brought to the Village Hall at 5.30pm. If your child attends After School Club, we can look after them until the performance if we know in advance – just speak with Serinne to organise this. Numbers are limited, so if you require more than three seats for the evening performance, please let the office know so we can keep track of numbers. Please bring pre-school siblings to the afternoon performance if possible.
Transition Morning – Thursday 18th July
Children will have the opportunity to experience the class arrangements for next year on the morning of 18th July. Existing nursery children who are transferring to Reception who are not normally in on that day are welcome to join us, but it is not essential. A letter with full details about staffing arrangements will go out that day, along with annual reports.
Leavers’ Service – Tuesday 23rd July, 2.00pm in the church
All are welcome to this event where we will say goodbye to children leaving us. It is a lovely way to finish the year, so do come if you can.
Summer Party – Tuesday 23rd July
The Friends of Dr South’s will be holding a summer disco on Tuesday 23rd July from 3.30pm – 5.00pm at Islip Village Hall. More details to follow soon.
Other events
There are a number of other events which will take place before the end of term, but as they only relate to certain year groups, communication about these will be done by e-mail to the year groups concerned.
Class Photographs – order by 13th July for delivery to school
These were taken on Wednesday and are available for you to purchase if you wish. If you would like them delivered to school before the end of term you need to order them by 13th July, otherwise you can have them delivered to your home.
