Dear Parents/Guardians,

In school this week we will celebrate National Day on Wednesday. Children can come to school in UAE clothing or the related colours. No school bags or packed lunches are needed as school will finish at 12 o’clock. If you would like to send in any traditional food for your child to share with her class please send it in either with your child in the morning or by 9.30am. There will be an assembly for Key Stage 2 children at 8.15am in the school hall and you are very welcome to join us.

If you are able to support us in school on a weekly basis to listen to children read, please email me on We will then try to organise a suitable time for us all.
