Cheriton Fitzpaine’s Tag Rugby Tournament: Friday 6th June
Good luck to all the schools who have entered teams in this year’s Tag Rugby tournament. Many thanks go to Mr Akhurst for organising the event.
Walking Club & Exe Valley Challenge Practice
Come and join Mrs Thorne and Mrs Steele on a circular walk following the footpaths from Thorverton to Brampford Speke this Sunday 8th June at 10.00 am. We will meet in Thorverton C of E Primary School’s playground (School Lane, Thorverton, EX5 5NR). This will also serve as a practice walk for the Exe Valley Challenge walkers. You will need appropriate clothing and footwear, waterproofs and plenty of snacks as well as a drink.
If you would like to be added to the parents and pupils walking club list, please let Sarah know in the office.
Residential for year 6
Year 6 are going to Grenville House at Brixham, from Friday 20th June to Monday 23rd June. Letters and kit lists have gone out to the children, so please check their bags if you haven’t received the information.
Whole School Trip: Wednesday 23rd July
Arrangements are being made to take children from Reception to Year 6 on a Cheriton Fitzpaine whole school outing during the last week of term. We are planning a trip to Dawlish Warren where we will organise sand art competitions, scavenger hunts, castle building, paddling and a picnic. Plans are being made for a special event for the Foundation Unit Nursery children. We will let you know the details as soon as we have finalised the arrangements.
Chess Tournament at North Tawton
Mr Ward has arranged for a chess team to visit North Tawton for a tournament on Tuesday 17th June. We will be very grateful for offers of help with transport. Last time PTA contributed towards the cost of petrol, as North Tawton is a considerable distance from school. Please let us know if you can help.
Scholastic Book Fair
There will be a Book Fair at school from Wednesday 2nd to Tuesday 8th July. Money made from the sale of books goes towards replenishing the library and also towards sets of “Guided Readers.” We will appreciate your support for the book fair.
School Lunch Menu
From Monday 2nd June, the lunch menu states that the menu will be week 1. This is in fact an error, it is actually week 4, which means that the menu will be one week out for the rest of term. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Special Celebration lunches:
World Cup Lunch on Thursday 19th June- Come to school dressed as your favourite footballer.
Wimbledon Lunch Friday 27th June- Come to school in your “Wimbledon White” sports gear.

Thank you for the donations so far.
