Thank you to all the parents who have assisted us in the cake club and craft club this term, it has been much appreciated and was enjoyed by the children. Also a big thank you to Sandra for all her work in buying the ingredients, and cooking the cakes as well as helping the children each week. We will put photos on the gallery later
Lost Property - there are still a large amount of lost property in the tub - mostly PE hoodies - I will leave these in the Hall for everyone to check on Friday at the PTA fair. Please check if your child has lost any items of clothing. As we cannot store clothing, anything left at the end of term will be donated to a chairty shop. Uniform items will be kept as spares in school.
