Swavesey Primary School Newsletter

Issue 2

Help us fundraise through Easy fundraising here. & Amazon Smile here

Updates from Mrs Norden

It was wonderful to be able to go ahead with our PTA Fireworks Display last Friday, which was spectacular.  We are so grateful to all who supported a fun evening for all sending a huge 'Thank You' to Ali, Steven, Yinka and Matt, our Fireworks team for the amazing display; Lucy, our school cook, for the yummy BBQ; and our PTA volunteers and the school staff for their support which enabled the event to go ahead.   It was reassuring that all our visitors  supported our extra safety measures, so we could comply with Expanded Plan Area guidance, which I know gave greater confidence to many.  Please click into the tab below to see some memories of the evening.

We will be joining in with fundraising for Children in Need next Friday with a non-uniform day, asking for a minimum donation of £1 to join in and support the cause.  Spots, yellow and Pudsey ears are all encouraged.

As we move through this second half of the autumn term there are many activities and events which will be taking place, albeit in a revised way to original plans for some.  Please look out for details, reminders and links to relevant documents in our weekly e-newsletter.  At the end of this month we will include our usual useful December guide to help with planning at home for those last few very busy weeks.

We hope you found last week's first e-newsletter easy to navigate and access information through.  As we develop this we will add further links.

Travelling Book Fair

We are excited to announce that the Travelling Book Fair will be visiting Swavesey Primary School from Friday 19th November to Wednesday 24th November.

Unfortunately, due to current Covid restrictions, we are unable to invite parents on site. Instead, your child’s class will be given time to browse hundreds of children’s books with their class teacher in our school hall. Children will be able to share books with their peers and teachers. Prices of books will start from £3.

Your child will be encouraged to select a book or two for their Wish List, which will then be sent home for you to review. 

Please click here to see the letter and documents which provide more information. (These were also attached to your e-newsletter link email)
