World Book Day

We will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 5th March.

• Pupils in Nursery, Year 1, 2, 3 & 4 can come to school dressed as a character from their favourite book.

• Years 1 – 7 will take part in a ‘Book Swap’ where they can bring in a book to swap with a friend.

• Key Stage 2 pupils will be a ‘Book Buddy’ and will read to the younger children.

There will be a Literacy Homework Activity to promote World Book Day.

School Uniform

It is essential that all children wear their full school uniform. Track suit bottoms and other t-shirts are not part of the school uniform. We would remind all parents to ensure that items of school uniform are re-marked with your child’s name as during the warmer weather children take off jumpers. We thank you for your co-operation.

Green Day

Friday 15th March – Pupils wear something green and are asked to donate £1 per child.

Young Enterprise

As part of Young Enterprise the year 7 pupils are making Mothers’ Day crafts which will be on sale on Thursday 12th March from 10.00am – 12.00pm in the market at Main Street. Please come along and show your support for the pupils.

Hometime Arrangements

All pupils should be collected from the playground. Teachers will bring the pupils outside to the playground where they will line up in their class. For the safety of your child pupils are to be collected from their line. Parents are asked not to gather around the main entrance or foyer as this causes great congestion. We thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

Parking

There is much congestion at the front of the school with parking particularly at home time. This is a Health and Safety issue and we would ask that cars are not abandoned blocking others and the footpath is kept clear. Please park appropriately and be mindful of others

Assembly
