    Coldfall Recipe Book

    Please find attached a recipe book Love Food, Love Your Planet’ containing recipes contributed by the children to make something delicious from food that might otherwise go to waste.

    We are trying to reduce food waste at school (and home) as throwing away food is very bad for the planet, and we invited the children to send in suggestions for how to do this. We hope you’ll enjoy their recipes and perhaps try some of them over the summer!

    Well done and thank you to all the children who sent in recipes!

    Head Lice

    We continue to have several cases of head lice throughout the school. Please would you kindly check your child’s hair thoroughly over the weekend, and if necessary, treat them immediately to avoid further infection. You can treat head lice without seeing a GP, or you can speak to a pharmacist for a recommended treatment. You should check everyone in the house and start treating anyone who has head lice on the same day with ongoing weekly treatments for a duration of at least three weeks. Thank you.

    Picking up from school, Nursery, Activity Clubs and Night Owls

    Once you collect your children, please do not remain on the school site. You should collect your child on time and then exit the site straight away. Children who have been collected are not permitted to play on the climbing frame etc. Thank you.

    Sweets/Party Bags

    A reminder not to allow children to bring any sweets to school (including delivering party bags from parties at the weekends). Some children are not allowed to eat sugar for various reasons and this can cause difficulties for them.

    Term Dates

    The Summer Term will end on 18th July.

    Lost Property

    Please note any clothing that is not clearly named will be donated to Friends of Coldfall each Friday for their second-hand uniform sales.

    Any named lost property will be returned to your child’s class or can be collected from the playground every Friday after school.

    Year 5

    Year 5 have been learning about Fairtrade this term, exploring how it impacts communities around the world and supports ethical trade. To mark the end of this topic and the school year, we will be holding a Year 5 picnic on the school field on the afternoon of Thursday 17th July.

    We would love each child to bring in a small item of food to share, which includes at least one Fairtrade ingredient. This can be something homemade or shop-bought, and may be either sweet or savoury.

    Please note that this event will take place during the school day and is for students only. Parents are not invited to attend.

    A few important reminders:
    • All food must be nut free.
    • If your child has a gluten intolerance or any other allergy or dietary need, they are welcome to bring something suitable for themselves.
    • Please clearly label any items that are gluten free, dairy free, or suitable for other dietary requirements.

    We are looking forward to a lovely afternoon and thank you for your continued support.
