Water in warmer weather The warmer weather is, hopefully finally here to stay. With this in mind, it would be helpful if each child brought a named bottle of water to school each day. At the end of the day, the water bottle will be taken home. Water bottle containers are to:- be 500ml or less be preferably transparent ONLY contain water Royal Wedding Party On Friday 18 th May our Reception children will be celebrating the wedding of Prince Harry and Megan Markle. On that day, the children should wear smart/ formal wear; prince/princess outfits but no superhero outfits! Please remember the children will be in the playground for the party (weather permitting) and therefore need to have sensible shoes and warm clothes that are practical for school. Our Nursery children will be celebrating the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle by taking part in a garden party on Friday 18 th May.

Another sensational sporting success for the children of Chase Lane! Well done to all those who took part and our thanks for the hard work from our coaches Mr Hercules, Dennis and Aslam who give up their time to help out with the school's football team.

Friends of Chase Lane All of the Friends of Chase Lane events are organised to help raise funds for the school, and give our children a better start in their early years of education. A really easy way to help us raise funds is to have an estate board advertising the school summer fair like the one on this page that we previously used for the Easter Fair. They look great and will only be in your drive or garden for approximately 2 weeks. The Friends of Chase Lane will receive 10 for every board that is erected. All we need is an email to the below address with your Name, Address & confirmation you are happy to display a board. friendsofchaselane@hotmail.co.uk Unfortunately we are limited to 50 boards per fair, so they will be issued on a first come first serve basis. Yours sincerely Carolyn Houstoun Head Teacher 5
