Dear Parents/Carers

 

'Phil' The Bag textile and clothing recycling collection from the school is booked for Thursday 9th November 2017.

 

Please donate your unwanted textile and help raise funds for the school.

 

WE CAN ACCEPT all kinds of adult and children's clothing, hats, shoes, belts, handbags and household textiles including sheets, pillow cases, duvet covers, curtains and towels. We also DO accept school uniform.

 

WE CANNOT ACCEPT: blankets, bric-a-brac, duvets, pillows, sleeping bags, rugs, carpet, offcuts of fabric, any WET items, tent canvas, ripped or stained clothing. Unfortunately we are also unable to accept towels, bedding and curtains from commercial organisations, e.g hospitals, hotels and animals sanctuaries.

The school will receive 35p per kilo collected and we need 40 bags, so every item counts. Simply fill a bag (preferably a pillow case but black sacks, bin liners and carrier bags will be recycled) and bring it to school.

Please bring donations in via the school hall by 9.00am on either:

 

Tuesday 7th November, Wednesday 8th November or Thursday 9th November.

 

Thank you in advance for your kind donations.

On Friday 13th October Mrs Flewitt attended the KM Forum to celebrate the efforts of local charities and schools supporting childrens' education and wellbeing. Our school received a Platinum Literacy Mark in recognition of our passion for all things reading and writing. We then received a second award recognising us as a BOP school - Buster's Outstanding Partner. This is to celebrate our participation in Buster's Book Club and Walk on Wednesday. We would like thank parents, carers and children for embracing both schemes with such enthusiasm, keep up the good work!

Dear Parents/Carers

 

We would first like to thank all of those who helped us with the last Cake Sale.

 

There will be a chance for Year 5 children to show off their baking skills on Thursday 19th October.

 

All your child has to do is to make some cakes at home, then bring them into school on the morning of 19th October.

 

Please contact The Friends if you are available to help with the sale via The Friends of Chartham Primary School Facebook page or email charthamfriends@gmail.com

 

Happy baking!

 

Thank you

Friends of Chartham Primary School

 

 

The Friends have very kindly agreed to fund the purchase of newly published books on a regular basis. This means that the children will have access to texts which are fresh from the bookshop shelves, helping to keep them engaged whilst  developing their reading for pleasure.

Dear Parents/Carers

 

We are having a visit from our popular Bargain Book Sellers after school on Monday 16th October; a chance to stock up on some new books and maybe do a bit of early Christmas shopping!!

 

There will be a selection of books for you to purchase at some great prices:

 

• Chapter books £2 each or 3 for £5
• Picture flats £1 each
• 100 Facts books £2 each or 3 for £5

 

PLEASE NOTE: This is a cash only sale, Book Saver cards are not accepted but they can be used at the next Book Fair from 13th November to 16th November.

 

Many thanks

Dear Parents/Carers

 

Harvest Celebration Monday 16th October

 

Our Harvest Celebration is coming up on Monday 16th October. There will be two opportunities to see this, one at 9.30am, and one at 2.30pm.

 

We will be supporting the local Food Bank this year, so would welcome your donations.

 

All visitors attending the shows will need to enter via the door at the back of the Hall; please do not arrive before 9.15am or 2.15pm.

 

Due to us being a growing school and health and safety regulations, we are requesting that no more than two attendees come from each family, and please only attends one of the events. Pushchairs and buggies will need to be left outside the hall.

 

Typically the morning show is less well attended than the afternoon, and therefore if you are able to attend in the morning, it would be much appreciated to stagger the numbers.

 

Thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you on the 16th October.

Dear Parents/Carers

 

The children should now have their new bookmark ready to record reading minutes for Buster each Wednesday. Obviously we want the children to read every evening but Wednesday is the day where we read for Buster.

 

Each week a trophy is awarded to the winning class and there are also some extra prizes to be won across terms 1 and 2 - family tickets to see Mr Maker's Live Show, family tickets to Leeds Castle and storytime sessions with well known author Nick Butterworth or a CBeebies presenter.

 

We really appreciate your support with reading at home and hope Buster helps to motivate the children.
