Dear Parents,

Parents are invited to join their children at the Annexe from 2.30 p.m. onwards to see what they have been doing that day and to have a quick tour around the Annexe building. You are then free to take the children home early if you so wish.
We look forward to seeing you on the day.

No Used Toys and Books for the Summer Fayre Please
We are not accepting donations of used toys/books/videos for the Summer Fayre. We usually have a stall at the Christmas Fayre and would appreciate donations then.
Also, we are thinking of doing a recycling fundraising event in the Autumn Term, which will accept quality second hand ladies’, men’s and children’s clothing, as well as bedding, curtains, soft toys, shoes, belts and handbags. We would raise funds for school for every kilo collected. Watch this space for further details nearer the time.
Yours faithfully,
Miss H. McKay
Headteacher.
