Red Nose Day 

On Thursday 17th March we will be supporting Red Nose day for Comic Relief.    Please send your child wearing anything red or they can have 'crazy hair' which ever you would prefer.   We will make a link available for you to make your donation via parent pay the day before the event via studybugs. Please offer your support for this very valuable charity directly benefiting children and families fleeing the war in Ukraine.   

After school on Friday 18th March staff will provide cakes for the cake stall, also to benefit the charity. 

 

Class 4 Trip 15th March

Reminder that Class 4 will be out of school on their trip to Canterbury Cathedral on Tuesday.  

Do please check the details in your letters home for the trip and do please let us know if there is any medical requirements we should know about before this trip. 

Thank you to Mrs Morris, Mrs Hollamby, Mrs Moorhouse and Mrs Hill for their time to take the children on what we believe will be an incredible day.

 

Thank you

Everyone for your tremendous support of our Ukraine Red Cross appeal day.  

We raised well over £400 which is amazing. 

We have had some discussions in school about the war in Ukraine and we will continue to do so in an age appropriate manner. 

You may find it useful to have a look at this BBC site with information on talking to your children;
