Year 4 parents and carers
We have emailed and messaged you about pencil cases for children.
If they would like to bring an EMPTY pencil case in to use in class we will provide the stationery.
No worries if children don't bring one in - we will provide them with an alternative place to store their pencils etc.
They have until the second week of term to bring in a case if they want.

HELP!!!

We are looking for help from the community and local businesses...

Our much loved play huts on the Key Stage 2 playground have very sadly come to the end of their life.
Hundreds of children have enjoyed playing, chatting, working and sheltering from sun and rain in them over the years.
We love them!

Before we spend any of our very precious budget on replacing these important resources we thought we would ask for recommendations of local businesses.

So if you know of anyone who can supply/ build similar structures (wood or composite/recycled materials) please let us know.

(We would rather work with someone local than give money to the big companies who charge more than a small fortune!)

Thank you.
