Dear Parents & Carers
The time has arrived! Tomorrow the first event of our Christmas celebrations start – our Christmas fair will take place in the hall between 3.00pm and 4.30pm. Santa can be visited in the library if you have booked, there will be a raffle and a variety of games and food stalls in the hall.
The children have been singing up a storm in their nativity rehearsals – I have even caught myself singing along to the songs with them. It will truly be a magical event.
Kind regards
Mr McCadden
Christmas fair
It is a non uniform day tomorrow for which there is no charge 😊 Instead, can we please ask that you bring a cake or bottle of something for our Christmas Fair stalls. Alcohol is not obligatory but always goes down well, thank you!!
We are also desperately short of raffle prizes so please if you have anything new or almost unused would you consider donating it to our raffle?
There will be a table outside the front of the school in the morning for your donations please.
Packed Lunch
We are noticing an increase in fizzy drinks (bottles and cans) and sweets in lunchboxes. Please can we remind you that as a healthy school, these items should not be in lunchboxes. Due to allergies, please also avoid nuts. Thank you for your co-operation.
There are lots of great lunchbox ideas here:

Tree week
We had great fun during tree week! Manhood Wildlife and Heritage Group spent all day with us on Monday and took us all out to help us identify all our trees.
Some of the older children have made labels for our trees so that we know what they are in the future.
Thank you to Miss Pottle for organising and to the ladies from MW&HG for giving up their time to help us.
Parent pay
Mrs Owen is still struggling to upload the visit for Kingfisher and Golden Eagle classes to the Festival Theatre although the problem is with ParentPay not our system.
It's one the reasons we have a trial of these things but please bear with us while we try to sort it out!
