We have had a truly fantastic and festive half term and would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all our pupils, parents and staff for your continued hard work, support and enthusiasm throughout the term.

A very special thank you also goes to our amazing PTA, who have worked tirelessly to organise so many wonderful events and resources for our children. We are incredibly grateful for everything you do and truly appreciate the time, effort, and dedication that goes into making these experiences so special for our children.

We wish all our families a joyful Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in school on Tuesday 6th January.

This week, our star of the week awards go to the following children:

Panda Class – Berwyn

Tiger Class – Bobby and Izzy

Rhino Class – Hattie and Steven

Jaguar Class – Ivy and Isla J

Congratulations!

Panda Class are looking to expand their role-play and small world resources, and we would be very grateful for any donations of Barbie or similar dolls that families may no longer need.

If you have any dolls in good, clean condition that you would be happy to donate, please bring them into school and pass them to a member of staff.

Thank you for your continued support — the children in Panda Class really appreciate it.

We kindly ask parents and carers to check at home for any school PE kit that may have been taken home after recent sports fixtures.

If you find any school kit, please send it back in with your child at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your support and cooperation.

We are looking forward to our Christmas Dinner tomorrow!
The minimum school dinner payment has been reduced to £2.50 on School Gateway to allow parents and carers to make a one-off payment if your child does not usually have school dinners.

Thank you.
