News: Newsletters
Newsletters are usually given to children to take home on a Friday afternoon. If you would like to receive the newsletter by e-mail as well, please mail newsletter@colstons-pri.bristol.sch.uk with your child's name and class.
We'd like to apologoise to parents who have not been receiving newsletters via e-mail since last year. The company providing this service has ceased trading, but we will be using an alternative provider very soon.
NEWSLETTER 9th MAY 2008
India & Pakistan
Over the last few years, we have focussed on various parts of the world to learn more about them and celebrate the diversity of our world and our school community.
We are planning to hold this week from 16th to 20th June this year (between Yr5 and Yr6 camp).
We would be grateful for help and ideas from parents especially those with personal knowledge of India and Pakistan. There will be a meeting in the school library from 5.15 to 6.15 on Tuesday 20th May. Please come if you can even if it is only for 15 minutes. Refreshments will be provided.
Belinda Wallace (Global Education Co-ordinator).

Secret Gardening Club
Funds are available to update the Secret Garden. Are there any professional or experienced gardeners amongst the parents who could help re-establish the pond, set up composting system and build beds for vegetable growing? If necessary funds could help pay the right person. Please contact Alyce on 07974236363 or alyce.griffith@virgin.net
Ice Cream Sales
Help needed! Ice cream sales have raised much-needed money for Colston's in previous years. We have not yet begun this year because we need help to sell ice creams after school in the playground. It takes just half and hour. Can you help? Please contact Rachel 3776720. Many thanks.
Lunchtime
We need to recruit more Lunchtimes Assistants to support and supervise play in our school playgrounds. Ideally the assistant would be available 5 days a week from 12.00 to 1.45 pm. If you are interested or know someone who might be, contact the Office for an application form.
