Author Visiting

Smartphone Free Childhood

Just a reminder that we fully support this movement. Maybe you’re beginning to start thinking about Christmas presents; if you have an older child and are considering buying them a phone then please do take a look at the alternatives to smart phones. This information may provide some further details for you.

MUFTI

Next Friday (24^th Oct) is the last day of term. It is also a MUFTI day – we invite the children to wear their own choice of clothes for a £2 donation to the PTA via ParentPay or in cash on the day.

Parent Tip

This week I’ve included a guide on healthy sleeping habits. We all know how important sleep is and how we all feel if we haven’t had quite enough! I hope you find it helpful.

INSET Day

We have an INSET (teacher training) day on Monday 3^rd November so the children return on Tuesday 4^th November.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Griffith

Sunningdale Village Hall - Chairperson Needed

Sunningdale Village Hall has played a large part of Sunningdale's community for over 100 years and is home to our much needed and beloved preschool and after school club, as well as many other clubs, parties and activities many of us attend and host. The Village Hall is a charity, and its continued existence very much depends on a dedicated group of volunteers – the Trustees – who are willing to give their time, their enthusiasm, and their life skills to ensure the Village Hall continues to thrive well into the future. We are currently looking for a new chair and would love to hear from anyone who wants to ensure the heart of our community continues to run as smoothly as it has. We have a great operational team in place, so this is a purely strategic, governance and oversight position. Please reach out to Jo Hermon (year 3 mum) if you are interested to have a chat. You can email the Trustee Board at:  admin@svhcommunity.co.uk
