Autumn Term Updates
Hand, Foot and Mouth - We continue to have confirmed cases this week. Please be vigilant should your child have symptoms (click here). It is highly infectious, and if caught can make you very unwell. We do have medically vulnerable children and staff and so children should not return if they have a high temperature or open ulcers, as these will lead to further spread.
Reminders:
Children in Need fundraising tomorrow 15th Nov - we will be raising money for this worthwhile cause through a non-uniform day. The children can come in clothes which should be suitable for outdoor play in the likely muddy, and possibly cold and/or wet conditions, as well as indoor learning. We encourage spots and the colour yellow to tie in with Pudsey Bear, but this will not be a requirement. A donation to Children in Need of £1 or more is encouraged.
Book Fair - Your children will have browsed today and books will be sold in the school hall after school tomorrow (Friday 15th) and on Monday 18th November from 3:30pm until 4:15pm.
Payment can be made online by using the QR Code on your phone/device or by writing a cheque made out to Swavesey Primary School. Unfortunately, we are unable to take cash payments.
Clubs after school on Monday - there will be no football or netball club on Monday due to the Book Fair.
Octagon Cluster and St Ives Rotary Competitions - we now have details of the photography competition too.
The closing date for entries in all three competitions is 10th January and there are age categories for all our primary year groups (Reception to Year6).
