It has now been confirmed that the early May Bank Holiday will now take place on Friday 8th May 2020, rather than Monday 4th May to coincide with the 75th anniversary of VE Day. VE Day, or Victory in Europe Day, marks the day towards the end of World War Two when fighting against Nazi Germany came to an end in Europe.

Mother’s Day Sales...
Message from The Friends of St Philip’s:
The children will be invited to come and buy from a display of Mother’s Day gifts on:
• Friday 22nd March – Year 4, 5 and 6
• Monday 25th March – Year 2 and 3
• Tuesday 26th March – Rec. and Year 1
The gifts will cost from just £1 up to £4. Payment will be needed on the DAY.
So, if you would like to support this initiative, please place your child’s money in a labelled envelope, and send it into school on the day of their sale. This year children will not be able to reserve gifts if they don’t have any money, however they may be able to attend a sale on a following day. The Friends of St Philip’s are working on reducing the plastic they use in these sales, please help them by sending in a named carrier bag for your child’s purchases.
Thank you in anticipation of your help in raising funds to support and enrich our children’s education. We hope you enjoy your special day.
Comic Relief...
Remember that is Comic Relief next Friday – come in your own clothes for a £1 donation. Don’t forget to wear your Red Nose Day accessories!
Half Term...
