Kirkham Grammar School Junior, Infant and Pre-School Issue 14 Friday 27 May 2016 Dear Parents Over the last two weeks, in every corner of the school, there has been excitement and fervour which makes KGJS such a thrilling place to learn and work. The J3 pupils have been creating the most wonderful projects on a mountain of their choice – three of these not only looked amazing but were even edible! Our I2 pupils have been creating a super iMovie linked with their Science topic (which is available to watch on our Twitter and Facebook pages) and the I3 and J4 pupils have also completed some fantastic project work. Many of the children have enjoyed stimulating and adventurous trips over the last two weeks, more of which you will read about further into this newsletter. We have been very lucky with the weather, so fingers crossed this continues for our half term holiday next week. We hope that the good weather also holds out for our J4 pupils, who will spend the week after half term on their Outdoor Adventure trip to Wales. We have a number of events taking place after half term, which we very much hope you will be able to join us for. More information will be sent out to you after half term but in the meantime, please check the term calendar for dates for your diary. As the weather has turned warmer, the children have been reminded about maintaining their smart appearance and wearing the correct uniform. Please could we ask for your support in ensuring that your children comply with the uniform regulations. Wishing you a lovely half term holiday.

KGJS were pleased to welcome into school Jenness Turner from Guide Dogs for the Blind, along with Chipo, an 11 month old Golden Labrador who she is currently training to be a Guide Dog. Martha Kerrane and Phoebe Marchbank-Caunce from J4, put forward an idea to the School Council to raise some money for the Guide Dogs Association. Along with other pupils and parents, the girls organised a cake sale, which raised a fantastic £300 for this very worthy cause. KGJS will now sponsor a class of three guide dog puppies, and will receive ‘Pupdates’ on their progress. We look forward to receiving photographs and information about our KGJS class of Guide Dog puppies. Thank you to Jenness for explaining to all our children about how Guide Dogs can transform the lives of people with sight loss.
