Christmas Hampers
Five lovely Christmas hampers are now on display in the office. The school office will be selling tickets until the end of school on Wednesday afternoon. If you have tickets which you have yet to return, please can you send them back by Wednesday. They should be returned in an envelope marked ‘PTA Hamper Raffle Tickets’. The draw will take place on Thursday, 15th December.
Children’s Christmas Lunch
On the last day of term, next Friday, 16th December, the children will be having their annual Christmas dinner. The cost is £2.00 and the children all receive a Christmas cracker and are served their lunch by the teachers, teaching assistants and office staff.
If your child would like to stay, please send an envelope to the office with £2.00 stating it is for the Christmas dinner. We need to know numbers by Monday. Thank you.
End Of Term Discos – Postponed
Due to unforeseen circumstances the end of term disco will not be taking place next Friday (the last day of term).
However, the PTA will instead, for the first time ever, be holding a very special children’s Valentine disco, on Friday, 10th February. Watch this space!
Christmas Cards
The red Christmas posting box is now in the school foyer. Please can we remind you to make sure that every card has the friend’s first name, surname and the class they are in. If this information is not one the card, it cannot be delivered .
Packed Lunches
Just a reminder that we do not allow nuts in the school as some children have nut allergies. This includes cereal bars which may have nuts in them.
Also, we do not allow children to have sweets in their packed lunches.
