Many thanks to the parents who came along and repaired
the pond.
Thank you very much. for a job well done.
UNIFORM:
Please make sure that all items of school uniform have
your childs name on it.
CHRISTMAS PARCELS:
The children recently watched a video about the Christmas
that many children in Eastern Europe face-no presents
and no toys. We can help by sending a shoe box with small
gifts inside it for some children. Each shoe box needs
£2 to help cover transport.
When one considers what our own children will receive
it is but a small gesture for less fortunate others.
Some parcels have been returned but
the rest need to be in school by 15th of November.

egg for a week ! Parents and friends are to sponsor them
for this activity. We are aware that a lot of money has
been given out recently so only a small donation is requested.

too close to Christmas to order
