The Harvest Festival will be held at St Andrews Church on Friday 22 September at 9:15. We ask children and staff to bring donations for the local foodbanks: tinned food, soap, toothpaste, cereals – rather than fresh vegetables or fruit, please. It would be great to see you there!
There will be a meeting on Tuesday 26 September at 3:30 for parents, carers and children to explain timings, clothing requirements, snack, pocket money and personal items (such as cameras and hand-held games). Please look out for a letter.
Please remember not to include nuts, including nutty bars or peanut butter, as a snack or in a lunchbox. We have a pupil who is allergic to nuts.
We have three clubs running after school. Monday is Code Club – an opportunity for our older children to develop their IT skills; Wednesday is Multiskills with Josh for Y1 – Y3 children – building up teambuilding, stamina through fun (and fast) games; Thursday is Hockey Club with Mr Call.
Please come along and support our Coffee and Cake Afternoon for Macmillan Care on Friday 29 September – starting at 2:00 in the school hall. Cakes and helpers are wanted please!
Why not look on the school website for more information, newsletters, policies and some fantastic photos? First Gardening Group was on Thursday 14 September and was a great success – and I’m sure that you have noticed the trimmed hedges around the school grounds. The next project will be tackling the willow bower, which needs shaping before the winter. Mrs Shelton will be taking some children to clear away the vegetable patch and the front beds as part of her lunchtime gardening group.
