Every Friday lunchtime we play music and have a party (and very occasionally get a pie to the face!)

Here's a few photo from today, I'm sure they'll be more to put up come Monday!

A huge well done and thank you for Kai for baking some cakes last night to raise money for Children in Need. A very well deserved headteachers award!

Marlo is ready and raring to go for Children in Need! Thank you to everyone for donating money and dressing up, I'll put some more photos of everyone dressed up later in the day!

As mentioned on Class Dojo, due to the success of our Firework Disco we are hoping to run more events and would like some feedback from parents/carers as to what events you would like, this will hopefully help inform us and go towards our planning!

Please get back to us with any suggestions/comments. Many thanks!!

Last night's Fireworks Disco was a big success! There was lots of lights lots of dancing (and lots of hot dogs!) Thank you for everyone that came and had fun!

A big thank you to everyone that attended our Transition Event last week!

FORCS NEWS

Dear Parents and Carers,

You are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting of The Friends of Reynalds Cross School (FORCS) to be held in The Link building at school on Monday 10th October at 7.00pm.

The meeting will last for about an hour and is an opportunity to see first-hand what FORCS is all about and learn a bit more of some of the fantastic projects we have been able to fund over recent years with support from local businesses, charities, the local community and parents and friends.

Please come along and give your support – there is no obligation to join the committee and there will be cake!!

Kind regards,

Gill Smith

FORCS NEWS
It has been a while since I have been able to bring you any FORCS news. As you can imagine covid has severely curtailed our fund raising efforts but fortunately we have still received some generous donations and gifts. Also, we have some new recruits to the committee. Hurrah!

Our main focus for the next few months is to be the provision of defibrillators for both school sites. This is still in the early stages but given the vulnerability of our pupils we feel it is something worthy of our support.

With future events in mind, half term around the corner and Spring in the air, I wonder if like me, you are hoping to have a bit of a clear out! I’m thinking good quality raffle prizes, tombola items and toys, especially outdoor toys. If so, we would be happy to take them off your hands. Any small items can be sent in with pupils. Please contact me if you have any larger items to donate.

In the meantime, have a lovely half term break and let’s hope for some sunny weather.
