Autumn 3
31st October 2018
We are proud to be involved in a Remembrance
Service on the 9th November. The children from
Years 3,4,5 and 6 (KS2) will be singing and
reading poetry in the church from 10.15am
after which they will move down to the War
Memorial on the green in time for the two
minutes silence at 11.00am where we will be
joined by Years 1 & 2. You are all warmly invited
to join us for this service which in the past has
been well attended by many people in the
village despite the dreadful weather
conditions.
Once again we are extending our welcome to the
Village Hall after the two minutes silence.
Refreshments will be served by our local Cubs
and Scouts with some time to chat and share
memories between generations.
Children who belong to the Rainbows, Brownies,
Guides, Beavers, Cubs or Scouts may wear their
uniform on this day.
Please feel free to invite members of your
family. This is a lovely service, one not to be
missed!
Poppies and other items from the British Legion
are for sale in the school office. All donations
would be greatly received but they have given
some suggested amounts:
Enamel Pin—£2.00, Bracelets—£2.00, Plastic
Wristbands—£2.00, Wooden Crosses—
£1.50 and Rulers/Wristband—£ 1.50.

Buying Christmas Presents Online? Is it too
early?!!Don’t forget if you are buying presents online you can raise money for the school
without doing a thing! Go through ‘easyfundraising’ either using the link on the
school website ‘Parents’ – ‘Friends of Cheriton ’ page (scroll down to the bottom
or go directly to
http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/cheritonprimary
The ‘easyfundraising’ site will take you to the retailer (Amazon, M&S, Argos,
John Lewis, Comet, Vodafone, eBay, Boden and Play.com - there are over
2,000), then a percentage of whatever you spend comes directly to us at no
extra cost to yourself. It’s the easiest way to help raise money for ‘Friends’ and
the school. Thanks to all those who have already signed up, happy shopping
everyone!
NUT FREE SCHOOL We have had a few cases of food containing nuts being brought into school. Please read AND adhere to the following quote from Hampshire County Council “We are a nut free school – this means we ask all parents not to send their children in with nuts and we do not give out nuts as snacks. This is to minimise the risks for any pupils with allergens.”
Class 2’s Guy was chosen as the winner at the Cheriton Fireworks
Display. They were rewarded with a book token courtesy of Mr May of
Cheriton House. A huge thank you for his kind generosity and
WELL DONE to Class 2, ROBINS.

Dear Parents / Guardians,
Welcome to our Christmas Card Project which we are undertaking in partnership
with Art Projects for Schools Ltd (APFS).
The funds raised through your support will be used towards resources for the school,
from which your child will benefit. Importantly, the items recognise and celebrate
your child’s creative effort and are great to send to family and friends.
The accompanying artwork your child has created will be accurately reproduced in
full colour onto Christmas cards that are available in packs of 12. Additional items
are also available such as packs of 6 larger gloss coated luxury Christmas cards,
packs of 12 folded gift tags and packs of 3 wrapping paper sheets. The quality of
reproduction is excellent as is the quality of the items; samples will be available to
view at the school office.
To order, simply visit https://www.apfsorders.co.uk, and input the unique artwork
code - found on the label on the reverse of the artwork - and your child’s first name
and surname. Orders must be placed by midnight on Friday 9th November. Any
orders placed after this date will be classed as a late order and will be subject to a
handling and postage fee. Benefits to ordering online include being able to personal-
ise your items with your child’s name and/or school, create your own custom greet-
ings, and pay securely by debit or credit card. Any enquiries relating to the project
should be addressed to the office staff.
* Gift Tags and Wrapping paper cannot be ordered without an order of cards

Children in Need – “DO YOUR THING” Once again we will be supporting Children in Need, Friday 16th November. As this years
theme is to “DO YOUR THING” to raise money for Children in Need, it has been
decided the children, and staff, should come to school in their nightwear in exchange
for a £1 coin to put on our large ‘Pudsey Bear’ on the floor in the hall. The children can
go to as little or as much effort as they like but please make sure that they have lots
of layers on so they are warm at playtimes. We will also be selling Pudsey and Blush ears
in the school office; they will be £2.50 each.
School Photographs The school photographer will be visiting on Monday 19th November 2018 to take
individual and sibling photographs. Any orders will be ready in time for Christmas; they
make lovely gifts for grandparents etc. If you have a pre-school child and would like to
have a photograph with their older siblings, please bring them along at 8.30am on this
day. The photographers will return again in the summer term to take class photographs.
Children might like to bring a brush and look smart on the day!
