  • Christmas cards: If your child wishes to write Christmas cards to their school friends this year, they are welcomed to. However, to reduce movement between year groups, please encourage your child to only write cards to children in their year group.
  • The PTA had kindly arranged a Christmas Fair and a pantomime for children to enjoy during the run up to Christmas. We are currently in discussion with the PTA about these events.

   

  For your information:
