Dear Parents,

This Thursday 21^st November, we will be holding our annual cake sale to raise money for the school. Don’t forget that we will be running a cake competition for the children where the theme is France. Do you have what it takes to be the next Prue Leith or Paul Hollywood? Please can any competition cakes be brought to the library on the day.

 

If you are donating pre-packaged cakes, please can they be brought in on Wednesday 20^th November. If you are donating fresh cakes, please can they be brought in on Thursday 21^st November. Please can all donations be brought to the food technology room in the main corridor.  All cake tins or boxes must be named so we can return them to you. Please can any raffle items be brought in on Wednesday 20^th November.

 

Below is a timetable of when your child will be visiting the cake sale. When your child’s class is visiting the cake sale, you may accompany them and take them home afterwards. Please collect your child from the door that they usually go home from after their visit to the sale.

 

 

We know that these sales are such a success because of the continued support you give us. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday.

Dear Parents,

 

We are excited to be able to hold our annual cake sale again this year! It will be held on Thursday 21st November and is an opportunity to raise money for the school. Next week, your child will be bringing home a paper plate on which we ask you to make donations of cakes or biscuits for the sale. If you are donating pre-packaged cakes, please can they be brought in on Wednesday 20th November. If you are donating fresh cakes, please can they be brought in on Thursday 21st November. Please can all donations be brought to the food technology room in the main corridor.

 

We will also be running a cake competition for the children. Every year, the standard of cakes just gets better and better! This year, the theme will be France as the language we learn at South View is French! The children’s entries could be based on the colours of the French flag, a famous monument or an aspect of French culture.

 

Also, to raise money we will be running a children’s and adult’s raffle which we would really appreciate donations for. We ask that raffle items be brought into school on Wednesday 20th November.

 

Next week, I will send another letter with further details about when your child’s class will be visiting the sale.

 

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Children in Need – Friday 15th November 2024

 

This year, for Children in Need, the children can come to school dressed in yellow, spotty or Pudsey themed clothing. All we ask is for a donation of 50p, which will go to raise funds for Children in Need.

 

If you are in Year 3 or Miss Allen’s class, and going to the cinema, please feel free to wear Children in Need clothes rather than your school uniform.

 

We look forward to seeing your outfits!

Dear Parents,                                                                                                  

This year we have chosen to participate in a ‘Christmas Design Project’ again, run by Cauliflower Cards.  The project aims to encourage pupils’ creativity and design skills whilst also raising funds for our school.

Your child has been creating their own Christmas design, which can be professionally printed to produce personalised Christmas cards, gift labels, wrapping paper, notebooks and mugs.

 

Not only would it be very exciting for your child to see their work as a finished printed product, the cards themselves are great for sending a more personal greeting to friends and family at Christmas and the mugs are great for gifts!

 

Orders and payment must be made online using the unique code located at the top of the pupil order form.  Please refer to your order form for further instructions.

 

Each order form must be unique so please do not photocopy the form for other members of your family you can get extra copies from your school.

 

If you place an order, the artwork must be returned to school by:

Monday 4^th November 2024.

 

Yours sincerely,

Miss Allen and Mrs Marmoy

This academic year, at the Infant School, we have launched a new whole school phonics programme called ‘Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised’.

 

For further information and a link to the online survey please visit the Infant School Letters Page.

 

The guidance can be found on the Information for Parents Page.

A reminder that Curriculum Maps for each year group are available to view on our Curriculum page.

 

These are updated each half term for the infant school and each term for the junior school.

 

Class PE days are also on this page.

The price of school meals will increase on Monday 2 September 2024 by 20p to £3.20 for all pupils and young people across Hampshire who purchase school meals through Hampshire County Council’s Education Catering service. 

 

Why the price is increasing 

The meal price reflects the impact of inflation, including food price rises and associated costs. The current price has been held since June 2023. Whilst Education Catering understand that price increases are never welcome, they have done everything they can to restrict the rise, while remaining a National Living Wage employer and therefore offering staff better terms and conditions of employment than some commercial competitors.

 

Hampshire County Council’s Education Catering service is committed to providing high-quality, delicious meals that support the learning of Hampshire's young people, including those from low-income households who rely on our hot meals.  

 

Free school meals 

Please use the free school meal eligibility checker free school meals
