www.trentceprimaryschool.co.uk 22nd May 2015 Dear Parents The Summer term is always full of extracurricular activities: athletics, the Summer performance, the music festival, school journeys and school trips galore, it’s allgo! Rehearsals are in fullswing for the Summer production of “Double Whammy”, with Years 4, 5 and 6 in good spirits and fine voice. The evening performances 6.30pm on Wednesday and Thursday next week. Tickets are allocated fairly, with Year 6 taking preference but parents of any age group who would like to watch can call Mrs Ring to check the availability of extra tickets from Monday. As we have included a matinee performance this year, there may well be a few seats available. Just a reminder…. The show, for Year 6 especially, is tremendously important celebration of their time at Trent. For this reason, children aren’t allowed in to watch; all Trent pupils will have already seen the dress rehearsal on Monday afternoon. I’m sure you understand. Year 6 School Journey to Kent was wonderful. The hotel staff, as always complemented the children on their impeccable behaviour and (on the whole) the tidiness of their rooms – unbelievable but true! Here’s a flavour of some of their adventures: Lunchtime at Lympne Safari Zoo Groovy moves in the disco! Getting dizzy at Chessington!

     Dear  Parents    The  Summer  term  is  always  full  of  extra-­‐curricular  activities:  athletics,  the  Summer  performance,  the  music  festival,  school  journeys  and  school  trips  galore,  it’s  all-­‐go!    

 

Rehearsals  are  in  full-­‐swing  for  the  Summer  production  of  “Double  Whammy”,  with  Years  4,  5  and  6  in  good  spirits  and  fine  voice.  The  evening  performances  6.30pm  on  Wednesday  and  Thursday  next  week.  Tickets  are  allocated  fairly,  with  Year  6  taking  preference  but  parents  of  any  age  group  who  would  like  to  watch  can  call  Mrs  Ring  to  check  the  availability  of  extra  tickets  from  Monday.  As  we  have  included  a  matinee  performance  this  year,  there  may  well  be  a  few  seats  available.    

Just  a  reminder….  The  show,  for  Year  6  especially,  is  tremendously  important  celebration  of  their  time  at  Trent.    For  this  reason,  children  aren’t  allowed  in  to  watch;  all  Trent  pupils  will  have  already  seen  the  dress  rehearsal  on  Monday  afternoon.  I’m  sure  you  understand.    Year  6  School  Journey  to  Kent  was  wonderful.  The  hotel  staff,  as  always  complemented  the  children  on  their  impeccable  behaviour  and  (on  the  whole)  the  tidiness  of  their  rooms  –  unbelievable  but  true!  Here’s  a  flavour  of  some  of  their  adventures:

   School  Journey  was  a  varied  and  exciting  week:  pottery,  dancing,  climbing,  swimming,  singing,  being  daring  and  being  independent  –  the  perfect  preparation  for  Secondary  school!

                                         Match  Funding  –  help  us  to  raise  the  money  for  the  new  toilets  project!    Can  you  help?  There  is  a  fantastic  scheme  whereby  employers  provide  funding  for  organisations  such  as  the  PTA  through  their  employees.    It  is  a  very  simple  yet  immensely  useful  tool  from  which  extra  funding  can  be  raised  for  our  school.    Why  not  check  if  your  employer  has  signed  up  to  this  scheme?  Below  is  a  list  of  companies  (by  no  means  exhaustive!)  that  we  understand  currently  match  gifts  donated  by  employees.    If  your  employer  is  not  listed,  please  contact  your  Human  Resources  department  to  find  out  if  they  operate  a  matching  gift  scheme.    In  most  cases,  the  company  will  match  your  donation  pound  for  pound  up  to  a  specific  level.      

Year  3  use  their  growing  grammar  knowledge  and  confidence  to  good  effect  writing    descriptive  sentences  to  edit  and  improve.    

Year  4  get  creative  painting  and  researching  native  American  history  and  Cityscapes.  

Year  5  had  a  non-­‐stop  week:  Music  festival,  allotment  visiting  and  still  time  to  smile!  

As  part  of  their  Corporate  Social  Responsibility  programs,  many  companies  encourage  staff  to  get  involved  in  community  projects,  including  School  Fairs,  Fireworks  Nights,  Bake  Sales  etc,  by  offering  to  match  any  funds  they  raise.      This  matched  funding  is  a  really  easy  way  to  increase  our  fundraising  revenue  and  can  easily  add  as  much  as  £2,000  to  the  takings  of  one  of  our  events.    We  are  fortunate  to  have  parents  at  the  school  who  work  for  companies  that  do  match  funding  including  Barclays,  Reuters,  NatWest,  BP,  GSK,  Royal  Bank  of  Scotland,  Shell  and  Sky.    So,  if  you  work  for  any  of  these,  ask  your  HR  department  how  you  can  get  your  company  to  match  fund  a  H.S.A    event.    And,  if  you  work  for  a  company  that  isn’t  listed  above,  it’s  still  worth  asking  the  HR  department  if  they  do  match  funding  or  even  if  they  are  prepared  to  start  doing  it!        Companies  we  know  will  Match  Fund3i  3i  Deutschland  GmbH    Abbey  National  plc  ABN  Amro  Bank  Accenture  Air  products  ltd  Alfred  Dunhill  Ltd  Alliance  &  Leicester  plc  Alliance  Capital  Ltd  Amec  PLC  American  Express  Amoco  Foundation,  Inc  Andersen  Anglian  Water  Argo  Wiggins  Argos  plc  Arla  Foods  ARM  holdings  plc  ASDA  AstraZeneca  AT  Kearney  Avon  Cosmetics  Ltd  B  &  Q  BAA  Plc  United                                                      Bank  of  America  Bank  of  England  Bank  of  Scotland  Bank  of  Tokyo-­‐Mitsubishi  Bankers  Trust  Barclays  Bank  plc  Barclays  Capital  Barclays  Group  BayerPlc                                                                              Beaverbrooks  jewellers  BG  Group  BOC  Group  plc  Boeing  Commercial  Airlines  Boots  Boston  Consulting  Group
