Hi everyone,
I hope all the children had a great term and enjoyed today’s Christmas Activities 😊. Spirits were certainly very high in the hall and they all seemed to have a lot of fun! Thank you so much to Rebekah for co-ordinating today and to all the class reps and volunteers for organising and hosting the activities. It was a really lovely way for the children to end such a happy and Christmassy week and end the term!

A pretty short but sweet term! Some activities may be added so please keep an eye on the PSA page on the website as it will be kept updated. Also, please do be part of your class What’s App groups as it is the quickest, easiest and often only way of finding out about PSA events & activities.
PSA MEETING – 19 January, 7.30pm, St John’s Church
We’d love for as many people as possible to come to the PSA meeting to discuss ideas of how we can create fun activities for both the children and families to enjoy and to raise money for the school.
Please do come if you can but if you are unavailable on the 19th, please feed any ideas you may have in advance to your class reps. ALL ideas are welcome! Thank you!
