First Day Back (15 April)

This is a reminder that our first day back is Monday 15 April starting at 8:45am.

New Term Booklets

Years 4, 5 and 6 children should receive information about next term’s topics today (year 3 received their leaflet yesterday) including important dates about Launch Days etc.

Your help is needed!

We are currently looking for more adults to hear readers.  If you can, or if you know anyone who can spare an hour a week, please return the slip at the bottom of the newsletter.  We can work around you!

Would you leave your front door open?

If we wouldn’t leave our front door open, then why do so many of our children have open profiles on Facebook?  I know many children have come home and discussed my assembly with their parents.  It is all our responsibility to ensure our children are safe on the Internet. Please read the information on the back of the Newsletter.
