It seems almost impossible that we are already into the month of December. At this busy time please do ensure that you have checked the diary dates carefully. We are all looking forward to the FoHBs Christmas Fair tomorrow so please do come along between 12 -3pm to support this event and invite friends and family members to join you. As a school we rely upon the money raised by FoHBs to help us purchase resources and equipment that we simply could not afford from the school budget. Recently £3000 was donated and six iPads have been purchased which will be ready for the children to use in the new term. FoHBs have also purchased the new role play furniture in Yr One, the new school library shelving and the chairs in Year Five. Please support this event and help us to raise as much money as possible whilst having an enjoyable afternoon.
There has been some confusion over the Rotary Carol Concert and Junior Carol Concert. The Rotary Carol Concert will be held on Wednesday 7th December at 7pm and only some choir members are required to attend this event. On Monday 12th December it is the Junior Carol Concert. All Junior children are required to attend this event and parents / carers are welcome to attend. More details will follow shortly.
Please ensure that all children have a warm, waterproof coat in school which is clearly named. A number of children are still coming into school in the mornings wearing only a jumper. If the weather is cold or wet and the children do not have suitable clothing they will not be allowed outside to play.
The final total for Children in Need was an amazing £418. Thank you all so much for your generosity.
Violins and woodwind instrumentalists will be holding their assembly at 10.30am on Monday and parents/ carers are invited to attend this event.
Well done to the Learners of the Week, we are very proud of you all.
