This Week at Joseph Cash EID Mubarak. A Happy Eid to all the families that celebrated this event this week. We hope you had a lovely time. Year 5 had a fantastic WOW week, trying lots of new activities. All the children had a brilliant time, experiencing the ‘WonderDome’ in the school hall on Wednesday. Ask your child what happened inside the WonderDome and what did they see? The School Bus opened this week and all the children had a Roald Dahl story read to them. A member of the Learning Mentor Team will be out and about on the playground, every morning from now on; to support our parents and families. Come and chat to one of the team on the School Bus. The team can help with school uniform, give advice about debt, health, housing, help with the completion of secondary school forms and provide food bank vouchers.
