Save the date – Family Fun Day Saturday 16 May

We are really looking forward to this chance for our children and staff to bring their families to join in the fun at Dawn House. It’s a great opportunity for children to show off their school to family and friends- the more the merrier! There will be activities, food and drinks stalls for you to purchase from and we do encourage that you bring a picnic, picnic blanket and maybe a chair or two so you can sit and enjoy the day.

We will let you know when and how you can buy your tickets.

Easter Raffle

Children should be coming home this week with raffle tickets for you and your families to buy. Please support us and sell as many as you can to family, friands and neighbours! There are some lovely prizes and all funds raised will contribute to our minibus fund and to buying some outdoor seating ready for the summer.

Easter Holiday Clubs

School’s holiday clubs this Easter on Wednesday1 April and Thursday 2 April  from 9:00am to 3:00pm.

This Easter half term, Dawn House will be running a themed Easter Holiday Club, offering pupils a fun mix of creativity, physical activity, and engaging experiences.

On Wednesday 1st April and Thursday 2nd April, pupils will take part in a variety of art projects, sports sessions, and swimming activities, with the main aim being for everyone to have fun, stay active, and enjoy spending time together during the holidays. Activities will include:

Creative arts and crafts

Sports and games

Swimming and water-based fun

ICT sessions, using iPads and computers

Biking (weather permitting)

Pupils will need to bring a packed lunch and drinks for the day.

The cost per day will be £50.

If you would like your child to attend, please email Mr Rose via Arbor to express your interest.

Coming up next week…

Term Dates

Just as a reminder, the 26/27 term dates are now available on the website. You will note that our first week back in September is a week of INSET days so your children will return to school on Monday 7 September. For those of you with children who struggle with busy holiday periods, I hope that this will enable you to book a quieter and cheaper week away with your children, without requesting any time during the term time when they should be learning. I hope this is helpful for you.  I will be unable to authorise the majority of out of school holiday request, moving forwards.

I think that’s it for this week,

Wishing you all a lovely weekend,

Jenny

If your child leaves home in the morning a little unsettled and you want to quickly tell us, so we know to expect a tricky start to the day, a quick email (that we can follow up later) to the tutor and/or core team with ‘Handle with Care’ in the email title will ensure that we are aware.
