Voluntary Contributions: At Lovelace our teachers go the extra mile to give children a wealth of experiences. We benefit from the current Mayor of London ’ s free transport where possible but occasionally there are extra payments required to cover costs: • Class fund (£5- £15 per term to be paid through Scopay) • Imperial War Museum (£3) • Class of 2016 T-shirts (£12) • End of year trip (£20 + spending money) • Leaver ’ s Production Ticket (£2) Without voluntary contributions, these events cannot go ahead 

Get involved! Children really value the support of the adults around them – you are their inspiration and role models! Although family life is busy, please try and find time to give your child support and guidance. Be the person you want your child to be … This may involve: helping with ideas, encouragement & praise  providing a distraction-free place to work  checking written work for spelling and punctuation  providing equipment and a quiet place to work  sharing and enjoying quality work  commenting on successes and/or any problems in a child ’ s home /  school book. Please do check your child ’ s diary daily and sign in at the end of each week attending parent / teacher evenings , VIP events, class assemblies  & PFA events continue to read to them / hear them read – share stories and news! 
