Announcements

Thank-you to those families who filled up their smartie tubes and brought them back. There’s still time if you haven’t managed to do this yet. All funds collected will go to the PTA to support school events and equipment.

Due to the ongoing Covid situation, we will be holding Parents’ evenings by Zoom again this term. Google forms will be sent out next week and dates are below for the different classes. We will organise Book Sharing sessions in the week of the 22nd November.

We are hoping to relaunch our social media presence in the next few weeks. We would be very grateful if you could complete the Google form survey to indicate which platform you feel would be the most effective for this.

We still hope to hold this in school but will review whether this is possible by Wednesday and let you know. If we cannot hold it in person, we will hold it on Zoom.

These will be on the evenings of 16th, 17th and 18th November (depending on classes). A google form will be circulated regarding this after half term when a decision will be made regarding whether they will be in person or virtual.

If your child is a budding photographer, they might like to take a picture that can be part of our school entry to the above competition.
