Covid Update

We now have confirmed cases in all classes.  Please continue to be vigilant; if your child is not feeling well, please keep them at home and test for covid.  If they are coughing or have a raised temperature, you should take them for a PCR test.

School Lunches

We have been notified by Dolce, the cost of school lunches will increase after the Easter holiday to £2.55 per meal. They have tried to absorb the increased costs for consumables but are unable to continue.

 

Upcoming Events

Please check our school website for information about future events, term dates, training days etc. http://www.burroughgreen.cambs.sch.uk/website/calendar/386598

Please make sure that home projects are back in school to share on Wednesday.  As long as our Covid rate does not increase dramatically, we would like to invite you to come and join us at 2:45pm.  There will be a chance for you to visit the classrooms and look at the children's projects from this half term.  There will also be a performance by our dance club at the end of the afternoon.  We are looking forward to welcoming you into school (please wear face coverings).

Sponsored Circuits for the Pool

A massive thankyou to the children who took part in this event. The circuits were really challenging with multiple activities in each. Mrs Harris informs us that her class alone managed 15 between them which is amazing! Totals for the other classes are still being totted up, so we'll keep you updated!

 

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has kindly donated in sponsorship. We are very aware of the many worthy causes currently that are asking for donations, and we have been blown away by your generosity.

 

The fundraising page alone has raised £840 to date and there are still more paper forms coming in! If you want to see our running total, click through to the page:
