Dear Parents/Carers

Our annual ‘Amble Ramble’ is a sponsored walk around the local area, which raises money to enhance our school. There is always a great atmosphere and sense of community as the whole school walks along with parents, family and friends who join us for the event. (No dogs please)

This year our fundraising efforts are particularly important, given the financial challenges that the school faces.

The money raised by this year’s Amble Ramble will enhance the curriculum. Subject Leaders have identified a number of resources which would be valuable to support the children’s learning across the curriculum. This includes

• decodable books to support early reading
• globes and updated atlases for Geography
• a Human Anatomy apron, Investigating materials bags and a range small world animals to classify in Science
• hand tools for Design Technology
• keyboards, percussion and tuned instruments for Music
• a range of specialist art equipment

As we are raising money for curriculum resources, we would like the children to dress to reflect their favourite subject at school. They might come as a mad scientist, an explorer or a character from history.

The children will be given a form on which to collect sponsorship. This can also be printed from the attachment on this e-mail, or downloaded from the school website. Once the walk has been completed, we ask that sponsorship money is returned to school by Friday 7^th June so that our new resources can be ordered.

Please help us by getting as many sponsors as possible.

Let’s hope for a sunny day!

Kind regards

Mrs D Hudson

Headteacher
