Visits to Fulbourn Library 

Exciting news! We have been working with Fulbourn Library to organise some class trips to the local library next half term. We would love for as many parents to join us on these trips as possible. We will be in touch soon with more information including the dates of the trips.  

In the meantime, if you do not already have a library card, you can sign up for one here: 

https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/residents/libraries-leisure-culture/libraries/library-information    or using the attached form. By having a library card, you can access books not only in the Fulbourn Library but libraries in the city centre too. 
  
The library is now offering extended opening hours which can be found here:

Would you like to join the staff team at Fulbourn? 

We are looking to recruit two more midday assistants to join our friendly lunchtime team.  If you are reliable, caring, adaptable and enthusiastic and you enjoy interacting with children, this could be for you! 

Your role will be to support our pupils at lunchtime, supervising them in the dining hall, ensuring their safety and well-being. No experience is needed, our friendly team will support you and training will be provided.   

More information is available on our website.  If you would like to chat about the role, do get in touch and we will be happy to talk with you. 

School Meal Menu 

The school meal menu can be found here on our website.  Please look at the menu with your child and talk about the different options on offer each day.   

Teacher Recommends 

Each week in the newsletter, a different teacher will recommend a favourite book.  How many will you have read? 

Mr Edwards Recommends: 

You Matter, Christian Robinson 

This is a lovely picture book with few words and a simple message for young readers - you matter. It helps children to understand different people and situations and why we are all important to one another. I would recommend it to readers of all ages who need a reason to smile! 

Community Noticeboard 

Don’t forget to visit the Community Noticeboard page on our website for information about local clubs, organisations and events.  Just added is information about the opening of the Fulbourn Hub by music producer and songwriter Nat Powers and information about May half term tennis lessons for 4-8 year olds.
