Dear Parents/Carers
On Friday 23 November 2019 Year 5 will be having a ‘Learning to Learn’ Science Day.
We have arranged for a Lego workshop to come in and spend the day with us.
The school day, including lunch, will run as normal, and the children will still need to be in their usual school uniform.
We are asking for a donation of £3.00 per child to help towards the cost of the workshop. If we do not receive enough donations the workshop will have to be cancelled.
Please complete the slip below and return to school by 22 November 2018, or make payment on the Gateway system.
Thank you
Mrs D Cole Miss H Duggan

Dear Parents/Carers
We have planned next year’s Year 6 residential trip (for our current Year 5s) to PGL’s Liddington in Wiltshire. This will take place from Monday 21 to Friday 25 October 2019. We do not believe that there are any prospective parents evenings at secondary schools currently booked during this week.
The approximate cost for the trip will be £389.00 with an initial deposit of £59.00 to be paid by Monday 3 December 2018. The price includes accommodation, activities, food and travel. We can only give an approximate cost for the trip until we know the exact numbers going to book a correct sized coach, but it is not anticipated to be any more than this.
Please be aware that once a deposit has been paid this will be seen as a commitment to pay the full amount. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, no refunds will be made. You may pay the remainder of the balance in a lump sum, or on the due dates which are 01 February 2019, 01 May 2019 and 01 July 2019. This can be done on The School Gateway App. We will also accept post-dated cheques (3 x £110) on these dates. The full payment deadline is Monday 01 July 2019.
We have decided to continue to go early during the school year as the pupils come back on a real high and very motivated to work hard for the rest of the year!
If you would like some information on PGL Liddington, please refer to their website www.pgl.co.uk and look for Boreatton Park Liddington. All the information you need should be found here. If you still have some questions regarding the trip, please catch Miss Hosein or Miss Duggan on the playground.
We want this trip to be available for all and grants towards the cost may be available in some circumstances. Please speak to the office to arrange an appointment if you wish to discuss this further. No place can be booked on the trip without a deposit.
We hope this will be an exciting and enjoyable experience for all of the children. It allows us to provide additional outdoor and adventurous activities. We would be delighted if all of the children currently in Year 5 were able to come.
We expect the children’s behaviour on the trip to be exemplary and so if a pupil regularly misbehaves in school or there is a major incident, then we may be unable to take him or her, and we will not be able to refund any money already paid. In addition, if there is any misbehaviour during the trip, parents will be expected to collect their child immediately.
Please complete the attached slip and return it to school by Friday 23 November 2018.
Yours sincerely
Miss Duggan Miss E Hosein

Dear Parents/Carers
As you may already know, Monday 12 November is the start of this year’s BBC Children in Need Appeal Week. Galley Hill is excited to be joining with many others around the UK to participate in the fundraising programme, the ‘Big BBC Children in Need Big Spotacular’.
The Big Spotacular will help your child learn about the lives of disadvantaged children across the whole of the UK, whilst developing skills like communication, teamwork and decision-making. Friday 16 November is also the end of our anti-bullying week, so we are combining both special events. We will be taking part in spotty-themed and fundraising activities Wear Something Spotty, blue or a combination of both – THIS IS A NON-UNIFORM DAY!!
You can help us make this a memorable event that raises as much money as possible, by supporting the fundraising activities in our school. This can be achieved by sending in a donation of £1.00 on Friday 16 November to take part in the ‘Wear Something Spotty or Blue Day’.
We are aiming to raise even more this year to support disadvantaged young people across the UK
Let’s make a big difference to the lives of children in the UK.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mrs Higgs
School Council Leader
