The Mundy CE Junior School Team

Due to the current temperatures we are experiencing at the moment, instead of cancelling, we have taken the decision that the children's theatre visit will take place at St Lawrence Church (the coolest building in Heanor at the moment as opposed to the school  hall). Children will be walking up to Church and back (pick up as normal from school) with our staff for this exciting performance (remember to ask them what it is all about this evening!). Please contact the office if you need any further information. 

GOOD LUCK YEAR 6'S 

A little (wee) message to our Year 6, soon to be year 7 children.

Year 6 Graduation … Be Proud!

Graduation Disco

Graduation is fast approaching for our Year Sixes as they prepare for their journey on to secondary school. The Year 6 group have their own Graduation Disco on Wednesday 19th July from 6 to 8pm. The Year 6’s will enjoy some nibbles, if you would like to donate some food/snacks/treats, we would be most grateful for any donations.  If you wish to contribute, please could you send these in to school with your child on the morning of the disco or before. All donations gratefully received. We do hope they enjoy their celebrations 😊 

Graduation Ceremony

The Graduation Ceremony will take place on Thursday 20^th July at 2pm for all Year 6 children. This will take place at the front of school and once the ceremony has finished all Year 6 Graduates will then leave for their journey into Year 7 and beyond and will leave with you from the ceremony. This event will take place outdoors. Just a reminder that all children need to be in their school uniform for the graduation. Please can we ask parents that you only take photos of your own child, and can we politely request that you do not film the ceremony, this is due to strict GDPR restrictions which keep all our children safe. There will be an opportunity during the graduation for you to take pictures of your child. Also please be mindful of your social media presence and our responsibilities as role models to our children. 

Happy Graduation All and thank you to you as Year 6 Parents and Carers for all of your support and encouragement over your time with us, we know this will be an exciting but emotional day for us all.  Be Proud and and Be Happy!

We are excited to announce our trip for the years 3, 4 and 5 to The Yorkshire Wildlife Park! This looks like a really exciting day out (if you want to have a look please visit their website: https://www.yorkshirewildlifepark.com/things-to-do/animals/). We will be all going on this adventure on Thursday 6th July for the full day :-) - to book your child's place please fill in the online form below.........

We will be travelling by coach and will depart from school at 9.00am and return to school for normal dismissal at 3.15pm. Children should therefore arrive at school as normal for registration.

Children are required to wear school uniform and bring in a mid-morning snack and water bottle to take with them on the trip. They will also require a packed lunch (if your child has Free School Meals a lunch will be provided - please indicate below their choice of sandwich filling) If you would like to order a school sandwich box (£2.30) please also indicate your child's choice below.

It is necessary to ask for a voluntary contribution of £15 per pupil to cover the cost of this trip. (if your child is in receipt of FSM there will be no charge). Although no pupil will be omitted from the trip on the grounds of cost, if there are insufficient funds the trip could be cancelled. Please feel free to pay in instalments.

We would be grateful if you would complete, make the necessary payment, and submit this form as soon as possible. The deadline for submitting this form is Friday 9th June - full payments to be received by Wednesday 5th July at the latest. PLEASE SEE FORM BELOW.......

GREEN GATE ENTRY AND DISMISSAL

Due to a technical issue the EXTERNAL GREEN GATE (Beech Walk) will not be in use until further notice. This is both for Drop Off in the morning and for Pick Up in the evening. Instead ALL children will enter and exit via the main school PEDESTRIAN GATE (please avoid using the vehicle gate). The Green Pod (Willow and Sycamore) children will still be brought to the internal Green Gate in the evening (and will enter here in the morning), if they are not walkers, they can be collected by parents and carers from the Internal Green Gate (please wait for your child on the path towards the poly tunnel and raised beds, to avoid congestion near the main entrance).

Year 5 arrangements for SATs week.

Whilst the Year 6 children are working hard for their SATs this coming week, Year 5 have a few modified arrangements and activities as follows: PE kits will be required on Wednesday and Thursday this week and then on Friday something to garden in! The Green Gate will not be open in the mornings this week, so all children will enter via the main 'School Entrance', but Green Pod (Willow and Sycamore) will leave school as normal via the 'Green Gate' (Beech Walk).

With Sadness 

It is with great sadness that I write to you all today to inform you that one of our School Team, Mrs Donna Wood died on Tuesday 2nd May please see the letter below:

DINNER MONEY PRICE INCREASE 

Please remember that dinner money has increased this week to £2.30 per day or £11.50 for the week. Remember your child does not need to have dinners all week.

The P.T.A will be hosting an Autumn Fayre on Wednesday 23rd November, 6:00-7:30 and to make it as exciting as possible, we are asking for your help. We are asking for classroom donations to bump our stalls up.

We are asking if each class could donate particular items and help host their class stall, in their pod area- 

Please do not feel you can't donate to any stall, we are very grateful for any donations :-)

Here are the Class themes..........

Ash Class:  Teddy Tombola. 

We are asking you to donate as many teddies and soft toys as possible. Who doesn’t love a Teddy Tombola?
 

Beech Class: Bottle Stall 

Your challenge is to bring in as may bottles as you can. They can contain pop, water, washing up liquid etc. please make sure any consumables are in date, though (non-alcoholic as we want this to be child friendly!).

Elm Class: Guess Sweets in the Jar and the Lollipop Game

We would like to have some guess ‘How Many Sweets in the Jar’ games - so it would be brilliant if we could fill a few jars, don’t you think? and would you like to help fill our lollipop board with as many lollies as possible so we can have a bundle of fun!

Oak Class: Jar Tombola

Please Could you bring as many jars as possible? They could contain anything beads, sweets, jam or even little toys. We do ask that all edibles are in date.

Sycamore Class: We would love you to bring in lots of tombola items. This is a very popular stall so many prizes are needed please!

Willow Class: Chocolate Tombola

No fayre would be complete without a Chocolate Tombola stall! As many prizes as possible would be greatly appreciated as this is the stall that always sells out first! Go on empty your cupboards!

Finally, we are hoping to sell refreshments so any cakes or treats for this stall would be great, too.

We really appreciate your help in this as without your kindness and generosity, we wouldn’t be able to do it.

We look forward to seeing you there,

The Mundy P.T.A.

SAFE PARKING

Please can we ask that you take extra care when dropping your children off and picking them up at the beginning and end of the day. We have noticed that a number of cars are parking close to the school and across neighbours' drives, which are causing obstructions and making it unsafe for our children to cross. Please try to park away from the school entrance and keep the congestion to minimum to avoid accidents.
