Lost Property
LOST PROPERTY
As you know we work hard to return any named lost property. For many years we have relied on parent volunteers spending countless hours sorting lost property and have found that this is no longer sustainable.
If you have lost something, can I please ask that you look in lost property (at the community entrance) this week. Any unclaimed items will be sent to charity THIS FRIDAY.
From now on lost property will be cleared every FIT AND FRUITY FRIDAY (last Friday of the month).
Many thanks for your help and support in this matter,
Miss Kirk
Water in the lunch hall
Pupil Voice Information – important message for parents and pupils
From Monday 27th January , there won’t be any plastic cups in the lunch hall for water. This is to reduce our use of single use plastic.
If pupils want water at lunch time, they will need to bring their water bottles. Every class will have a box to put their water bottles in after lunch.
Please help us make this possible by making sure that your child brings a water bottle to school every day, labelled with their name and class.
This is a really big step towards our campaign to reduce single use plastic. Next we will tackling the use of milk cartons!
Many thanks from Pupil Voice Committee
Obstacle Course
The annual Merrylee PA Obstacle Course will take place on Thursday 30th and Friday 31st January.
As most of you will know this is an event greatly enjoyed every year by all the children. The course is setup by parent volunteers and staff, and is supervised at all times whilst the children are using the equipment.
Every child in the school will have the opportunity to enjoy the obstacle course, and the children are able to wear sport clothes on the day that their class is taking part.
To make the course as interesting as possible, we need as many volunteers as we can to supervise the various obstacles. If you have time on either or both days to help please email:
We are no longer asking for sponsorship for this event. If you would like to make a donation towards PA funds, which help support school trips and resources, then you will be able to do so via ParentPay.
