KS2 Library Reopening
Unfortunately we are unable to open the KS2 library to the children next week due to the extent of damage and disruption caused during the parent consultation meetings this week.
In addition to damage to books, a number of books and sets of books have been taken. Please can I ask for all books to be returned.
We have postponed the opening until the start of the summer term. I know the children, as well as staff are disappointed, as many are very enthusiastic to start the 100 book challenge.
These books can be found in the local public libraries if your children would like to start to read them over the Easter break.
Mr. Scott
End of Term Reminders

Easter Chicks - Living Eggs
This week we once again welcomed 10 little eggs to observe and nurture. The embryo eggs arrive a couple of days before they are due to hatch. They are kept in special incubators in school where the children are able to watch them hatch. Next week they will be visiting the classrooms where the children will be taught how to safely handle them if they wish.

A huge thank you to all parents who so generously donated to this year's Bounce For Books event. We raised over £3,300! This is a brilliant total so thank you very much for your support. All the money will be used to buy new reading books for the children.
Summer Fair
Our Summer Fair will be held on Saturday 16th June, from 12.00 – 3.00 pm. It’s our biggest fundraising event of the year and we’ll be sending out more information about it after the Easter break. This year the PSA will be creating an A3 colour poster to accompany the Fair. It will feature the 2018/19 academic calendar with holidays and key dates marked as a helpful visual tool for families and will be bordered with adverts from local businesses. If you'd like the opportunity to advertise your business before we reach out to the local community please contact Victoria Wilson on victoriafernhill@outlook.com. We would also like to offer families the opportunity to host a stall at the Fair to promote their business. The stalls will be in the courtyard area opposite school reception at the entrance to the Fair and are available at a rate of £20 per pitch. If you are interested, please email fernhillpsa@gmail.com for further information and a booking form by Friday 27th April.
