Hot Chocolate Friday
We were delighted to have our first hot chocolate Friday this week. Teachers chose one child from each class who had gone over and above this week in helping others. The selected children then had a hot chocolate with Mr Rafferty and Mrs Douglas! This weeks achievers (with hot chocolate all round their mouths) are: Huxley, Kaitlyn, Eli, James, Isla Mae, Eddie, Archie, Dixie and Rosa

We had a great first day back on Monday at the Orienteering festival organised by the Chippenham Sports Partnership.

Well done to all teams and especially well done to the winners who will now represent us at the county Level 3 School Games event in July.

FOMPS
Monkfest
If you can spare some time and help with a stall, please sign up here. All help is gratefully received.
Bunting
It has been a FOMPS tradition for a long time to display the school bunting at the summer fair. This has been made over the years by the addition of a piece of bunting made specifically by, with or for your child. Please use the attached template to make one for your child if you have not already done so and hand them into the office by June 20th. Cloth bunting is preferred as it will last a lot longer if the weather is inclement (which of course will not be the case this year!).
