Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope you all had a lovely half term break. This half term is full of activities particularly in the run up to the Christmas break so I have listed some key dates for you at the end of this letter.
Staffing
This half term we are pleased to welcome Millie Gaitens onto our office team. You will all get to know her as she is in the main office each day. I hope she will be really happy here.
I am also pleased to let you know that Emily Kearns had a beautiful baby boy during the half term break. Mum and baby doing well. We are all looking forward to her coming in for a visit soon.
Remembrance Day
As always, poppies will be available in school from 5th November to support the British Legion fundraising for service men and women and their families. Please send a minimum of 20p for a poppy if you wish to support this. We are also selling reflectors, wristbands and zip pulls for £1.00. These will be brought round to classrooms each day next week. Please note wristbands may only be worn this week – they must not to be brought into school after 11th November.
