We break up Friday 18th December for Christmas Holidays. Collecting Children from School As it is starting to get dark on an evening, especially after the AfterSchool Clubs please ensure there is a responsible adult to collect your child, this includes the children in Year 6 who generally walk home alone. Year 1 – Trip The children in Year 1 are going to the Hancock Museum for a Dinosaur workshop on Tuesday 17th November. We would be grateful for as many parent/carers to come along and help. Please let Miss Evans know if you can help out. Thank you. Home School Contact Diaries We have introduced a Home School Contact Book. This is to improve communications between home and school. Children will need to bring their book to school and take it home on a daily basis. Thank you for your co-operation.
