Parents’ Evening appointments have been taking place this week and I hope you have found these to be useful. If anyone has missed their appointment, please email the class teacher to make alternative arrangements.
Thank you to everyone who supported the Winter Disco organised by the PTA. Everyone had great fun playing in the bubble machine, dancing and eating hot dogs. This event raised a fantastic £620.
Following the recent news and advice by the HSA regarding sterile and non sterile
antiseptic wipes, we can assure you that we have carried out an extensive audit of all of our first aid kits to ensure that we have the approved sterile wipes. Attached is information we have received from our Health and Safety Public Health Team regarding Burkholderia Stabilis
World Book Day this year is on Thursday 5th March. On that day, children may come to school dressed as their favourite literary character. We will also be holding a ‘book swap’ .
If your child would like to take part, please send in a book which your child has enjoyed and is happy to give away and swap for a different book. Books should be wrapped, with a tag attached, describing what the book is about. This will hopefully prevent ‘judging a book by
its cover’ . World Book Day tokens have been handed out today and are valid from 12th February until 15th March.
A reminder that we close tomorrow for half term at the usual times and re open for the children on Tuesday 24th February.
I hope you all have an enjoyable half term break.
