KidsLunch - Wednesday 22nd July

On Wednesday 22nd July, the KidsLunch kitchen will only offer a cold sandwich lunch option. Since the menus for this term are already live, KidsLunch cannot amend these to show only cold lunch options. 

If you have already made an order for Wednesday 22nd July, please can you amend this to a sandwich option by midday on Friday 17th July. 

Any remaining hot lunches ordered will be replaced with either a cheese or chicken sandwich. All allergies and dietary requirements will continue to be catered for. 

Clubs

Next week will be the final week for our school-run clubs, with the exception of Maypole and Bible Bricks, which have already concluded.

Reading & Phonics Books

Home readers will be collected in as follows next week:

• Reception – Tuesday
• Year 1 & 2 – Friday

Phonics readers will be collected on Thursday next week.

Library Books

This week (w/c 6th July) we collected library books so that we can conduct a stock take. Children will still have library sessions but will not bring home a library book again this term.

If you still have your child's library book at home, you could please bring it in.

A named bag in school

Please can we ask all parents/carers to provide a named bag for children to take home their school books on Wednesday 22nd July for the end of the school year.

Lexia - REMINDER

Children who attend morning Lexia sessions, their last sessions of the academic year are: 

• Year 1: Tuesday 14^th 
• Year 2: Thursday 16^th 

Creative Week Exhibition - 13^th July

On Monday 13^th July we will be starting Creative Week with an exhibition of children's amazing masterpieces.

The children have been working hard over the term to create different artworks using different skills such as printing, water colour painting and colour mixing. The Exhibition will be held in the Barn from 3-4pm and is a great chance to see what your child has created! Purchases are available for £10 cash only. 

​

Please can we ask parents and carers to remember to park safely and respectfully when they come to school for pickup, drop off and out-of-school events. 
There are zigzag lines at the front of school which should not be parked on. This is for the safety of pupils and other pedestrians.

Please also remember to respect our neighbours by only parking in public parking spaces, not on the pavements and avoiding parking in front of people's drives. 

​

End of Year Service

• Date: Wednesday 22^nd July, 9.15am –10.15am

The End of Year Service is always a lovely, emotional time as we say goodbye to our Year 2 children and wish them well for the next step in their learning journey. They will share some memories of their time at Marlow Infants and sing some of their favourite worship songs.

Year 2 parents can book a ticket for this special service below.

​

Design and Technology 

In outdoor learning this week, the Year 2 children have been learning about healthy eating as part of Design and Technology and have been making different salads.

A big thank you to our 2 parent helpers who supported Dan in helping the children with the cutting of vegetables and the preparation of these lovely looking dishes.

​

Legacy Books

It's that time of year again when we kindly ask Year 2 families to donate a legacy book (or more than one) in memory of their child's time at our school. We will label these to show who they were donated by. They will really help with our Core Read Aloud programme and to instil a love of reading in our pupils in the future. 

Purchase a book from our wish list

Act of Service

New Dates:

Grasshopper class: Wednesday 15th July

Dragonfly class: Thursday 16th July

As you will be aware following the email sent out. The Year 2 act of service was unfortunately postponed due to the organiser at Buckinghamshire council being off poorly this week. 

Both Year 2 classes will be walking to May Balfour Gardens to perform their Act of Service.

We will be leaving school around 9am, walking to May Balfour Gardens, litter picking, planting bulbs and washing the sundial for the community to benefit from. We plan to return to school before 12.00pm. If your child has a litter picker and would like to bring it in, that would be much appreciated.

We do require volunteers to help walk down with the children and back. If you are available to help, please let us know below.
