Working Party this Sunday 18th May
A massive thank you to all those who gave their time to come up to school last Sunday to help tidy areas of the site, and to the PTA for organising this. You all did a fantastic job and we really appreciate you giving your time for this.
Stoke City Sponsorship Money
Thank you for sending your sponsorship money in to school. This has now been forwarded to Stoke City and they will be in school on Tuesday 3rd June to give out prizes for the money raised.
Standon Bowers
Our Year 4 children arrived in school this week excited to share their stories and experiences of their residential trip to Standon Bowers, where they all had a fantastic time.
Half Term
We break for half term after school today and open again for the second half of the summer term at 8.45am on Monday 2nd June.
I will give more detail on the more imminent events in the last half term in my first newsletter after the break.
Have a fantastic half term break!
