Dear Fair Oak Family,
News for all pupils
Wednesday’s dinner choices in school… Unfortunately, due to an oversight our school kitchen served tuna and sweetcorn pasta instead of bubble salmon today for the red option, apologies on their behalf.
- Reminder - Please can we ask that all DFE laptops that were provided for our families to use during the pandemic be returned to school as soon as possible and ideally before Friday 16th July. There is a legal requirement for these to be returned to school as they will need to be reprogrammed/updated to enable them to continue to be used going forward. We will then be looking into how these will be re-distributed / utilised, in the best interests of pupils here at FOJS. Thank you.
Home Start Hampshire is a local charity supporting parents who are going through challenging times. Home Start Hampshire are looking for new volunteers to join the team. Please see the attachments for more information about how to get involved.

News for Year 3
Please can we ask that you check your child’s hair regularly for head lice? We have had quite a few parents who have treated hair and found them return. Thank you for your support with this.
News for Year 4
There is no news specific to Year 4.
News for Year 5
There is no news specific to Year 5.
News for Year 6
- Due to a bubble closure, Mrs Gowers has made the decision to move the Year 6 awards ceremony to the last day of term (Friday 23rd July). The children will be allowed to sign shirts on this day too so, if you are happy, please send them in with a shirt that they can write on.
As the awards ceremony has been moved, Friday of this week is now free, and we would like to make this a board game afternoon - especially as the weather is supposed to be hot. Therefore, could the children bring in (this Friday) a board game to play within their bubble.
Please also be reminded that there are no Year 6 hot dinner options on Friday – please send your child to school with a packed lunch as we will sit outside and will give the children an ice cream afterwards from the school.

- Year 6 Update on leaver's hoodies:
The hoodies are in production and the company have said they will be delivered before the end of term. I am in contact with them and chasing for a more precise update and will keep parents informed. Whatever happens, with any child having to self-isolate and missing end of term, I will work with the school and find a way to get your child's hoodie to you.
Some good news is that as the school ordered over 100 hoodies, the company have offered a £1 discount per hoodie, and there is a pot of money leftover in the account. An idea has been suggested to me to donate this money to the school PSA towards the costs of the Yr 6 fun week. If however, a parent would like me to arrange a refund of £1 towards the hoodies they purchased, I can do this only via BACS; please email:

Account Number
by Sunday 18th July. I will arrange any refunds requested early next week, and the rest of the money will be donated to the school PSA by the end of term.
Thank you.
