I hope you all had an enjoyable break over half term.
Please see attached a copy of the clubs taking place this half term.
World Book Day is next week 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 were handed out before half term today and can be used until 15th March.
A reminder to parents of children in Years 3,4,5 and 6 that the deadline for your child to apply to be an Otley Star is Friday 6th March. Applications via the online form are preferred. A further copy of the information is attached.
