Hello and Welcome
Hello to Dagmara, Samuel, Luke, Jay, Chloe-Marie, Ruby-May,
Ellesse and Ryan, who have started school full time this term, it
is good to see your cheery, smiling faces in school. Welcome also
to Bethany in Year 2 and Tyler in Year 4. I am sure you will soon
make lots of new friends and feel at home here at Langer.

The number of activities and opportunities for children to take
part is even greater this term. Go the Clubs and Activity
page for details.

School Library
The new computer system is now installed in the refurbished
school library. Children will now be able to borrow school library
books. Mrs Rastrick from the Schools Library Service will be
promoting our new library stock with the children during class
sessions on 28th and 29th April. Details of
after school story sessions during May and June will follow
shortly.
We are holding a Book Fair on Wednesday. 21st May in
the school hall from 3.30 pm onwards. Pete Johnson, the children’s
author, will be working with Years 5 and 6 children in writing
workshops on Friday 27th June, when we hope to officially open the
library.
School Meals
As well as the new tasty ideas outlined in our School Kitchen
Newsletter (attached), don’t forget the School Birthday Lunches,
bookable 2 weeks in advance, details of which are available from
the school office. We will also be holding our Come to Dinner days
on Monday, 12th May and Monday, 30th
June.
FOLSA
A very well attended disco on Friday, 14th March
raised £159.93. Thank you to all the members of FOLSA for your hard
work and enthusiasm in supporting our school. FOLSA have also
donated £500 towards refurbishing the library – Thank you.
School Uniform
A reminder please: our school uniform is navy blue
sweatshirt/jumper/cardigan. There seems to be a number of black
jumpers appearing, the children do look smart in their uniform, and
wearing our uniform colour of navy blue promotes belonging to and
being part of Langer Primary School.
Also, a reminder: children need to have PE kit (t-shirt, dark
shorts, trainers) in school at all times. In the cooler weather,
children can wear tracksuits for outdoor PE, but preferably
black/navy coloured tracksuits in keeping with school uniform.
Thank you for your support with a practical, sensible uniform.
Behaviour
The behaviour of all our pupils around and in school is
generally excellent, which is due to the children themselves and
all adults reinforcing good behaviour positively. Any inappropriate
behaviour is dealt with consistently, and staff always talk to the
child/ren concerned to discuss actions and consequences.
School Policies
Over the past few months staff and governors have been working
on looking at and updating the many policies, both curricular and
whole school that we have to hold. A copy of the updated policy
file is kept in the school office and is available for reading at
any time.
Severe Weather
Following the high water flood alerts of Friday, 9th
November, the school was closed. In the case of severe weather and
possible school closure, please tune in to BBC Radio Suffolk 103.9
