FoCH Spring Fair
The Spring Fair is just 3 weeks away! Tickets will be on sale starting next Monday (6th February) in the Entrance Hall at drop off for £10 each. Please purchase tickets for all your friends and family as this should be a morning not to be missed! Your Class Reps will be asking for volunteers to staff their booths for the tombola (Olympic shop) and also for any raffle donations - we would very much appreciate any help. Next Tuesday 7th February, our children will have a special art session in class during the morning, making decorations for the Spring Fair. They will be able to see their artwork on display at the Fair. Thanks in advance for all your support!
FoCH Spring Fair - Design a Cameron House Olympic Logo
You may have seen this exciting activity displayed on the FoCH Notice Board in the School Entrance Hall:

Early Bird Club
As you may know we offer a morning supervision club - "Early Bird Club" every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning from 8.00 - 8.30am. If a parent would like to sign up their child to join this club on any of these mornings (it can be on a regular basis or as a one-off), please contact Anne-Marie in the School Office. There is a small cost of £3 per morning. Thank you.
Cameron House School Hat - Fleece Alternative Now Available!
Following the success of the fleece scarves, the Cameron House School winter hat will now also be available in matching fleece. Just like the scarf, it is soft and comfortable and children may wear it as an alternative to the wool hat which is of course still available from Peter Jones if parents prefer. To see a sample, please visit the School Office. If you would like to order a fleece hat, please email jussie.burbidge@btopenworld.com and leave cash or a cheque for £10 in the School Office payable to Miss J Burbidge. Deliveries will be made to the school as soon as possible after your order has been placed.
Class 3 Visit to The London Museum
On Monday Class 3 went to a story telling workshop at the Museum of London. This was the best Anglo-Saxon story that I heard. "Once upon a time there was a monster called Grendel. Lots of people tried to defeat it but they all failed. One day someone called Beowulf was told to defeat Grendel and he did! When Grendel's mother heard about this she was so angry! A couple of days later Beowulf went and killed Grendel's mother. Then he lived happily for 50 years until a dragon came. When the dragon was stretching he grabbed his sword and placed it in his chest. When the dragon was his final stretch he scratched Beowulf! Sadly Beowulf had come to his death." By Maddy Whitman
Cameron House School Cricket Club
We are delighted to attach a letter with this week's Insider about the possibility of running an exciting new Summer Term Cricket Club. Please speak to our Head of Sport, Hugh Freeland, if you have any further questions.
Parent/Teacher Evening Individual Appointments
We are delighted to inform you that the Parents' Evening 'Sign Up Sheets' will soon be available on the Parents' Notice Board in the School Entrance Hall rather than on Classroom doors this term. Parents can sign up in the coming weeks for a convenient time. Parents will have a choice of dates to come and discuss their child's progress with the Class Teacher (please see dates below). We hope you will be able to find a suitable time on the given evenings, but if you are unable to attend either date, please let us know and we will try to find an alternative time for you. Please liaise with Class teachers if you have any "sibling clashes" and they will help arrange convenient times for you. We ask that in kind consideration to others, parents keep to their allotted times during these appointments to avoid long queues, missed sibling appointments and overrunning. Please note that unfortunately this is not an occasion when children are able to attend. Thank you for your support. Thursday 1st March (5.30 - 7pm) or Wednesday 7th March (5 - 6.30pm) for all Classes.
