School Library – New Opening Hours – Every Tuesday!
Starting next week, on Tuesday 17th June, we are going to open our school library to the children to visit after school. Children can visit with a Parent between 3.20 pm until 4.00 pm; with access to the library through the main school entrance. Children have been provided with a library card that they will bring home on Tuesday. Please take care of this card.
The idea is that Parents can help their child to choose a book and then return it on the same day a week later.

We also hope to have bouncy castles (more than one if we get enough helpers!), hot dogs, tuck shop and chocolate tombola.

Don’t forget to sign up – the Summer Fair is dependent on volunteers! Thank you to those of you who have already signed up, however we desperately need volunteers in order to make this event a success. Please click here to volunteer! Thank you.
RAFFLE PRIZES: Are you able to donate a raffle prize for our PTA Summer Fair on Friday 18th July? Perhaps you run a small business – this would be an excellent opportunity to advertise your business through a voucher or a sample of your products? All donations are welcomed, large and small, and should be brought to the School Office – thank you very much!
OTHER DONATIONS: We need prizes for games – do you have any left-over birthday/party bag contents that you could donate to us to use as prizes? If so, we would be very grateful if you could drop them off at the School Office before Friday 11th July. Thank you.
BOUNCY CASTLE AND SLIDE: We are happy to announce that we can have a Bouncy Slide and a Bouncy Castle at the Fair this year! Families can pre-order the wrist bands (£3 a ticket per child) which will allow access all evening and unlimited ‘goes’ on the slide and bouncy castle (bouncy castle sessions will be timed). We expect this to be a busy attraction, so please be aware a queueing system will be in place. Click on the following link to register (if you have not already done so) and buy tickets: https://www.pta-events.co.uk/swanland Sales close at 12.00 pm on Friday 12th July.

Non-Uniform Day – Monday 21st July 2025
On Monday 21st July (the last Monday of term) we are having a Non-Uniform Day (sports clothing) to raise money for the ‘Run With It’ charity. ‘Run With It’ deliver innovative and challenging learning programmes for children and we have been fortunate to be able to send groups of children to their Enrichment Days which are a one-off experience day involving numeracy, literacy, ICT and/or healthy lifestyle workshops.
Monday 21st July will consist of fun full school sports, craft and other activities; therefore children can come to school in their favourite sports clothing and to support ‘Run With It’, we are asking that children bring a cash donation into school on the day (suggestion £1- though any amount is appreciated).
Thank you.
