Book Week & Book Fair
Book Week proved to be a great
success last week. The ‘Dressing
Up’ day last Friday was wonderful,
thank you for the effort that was
made with the costumes. Finally,
many thanks to everyone who
purchased a book from the Book
Fair. As a school we earn a large amount of commission
from the Book Fair that we look forward to reinvesting back
into our own school library.

Easter Parade
th
On Wednesday 5 April at 2pm we
will be having our annual Easter
Parade. All children (Rec – Y6) are invited to take part in the
parade wearing Easter bonnets that they have made at
home. Children can also bring in other Easter crafts that they
have created such as Easter baskets, bunnies, chicks,
pictures etc. All parents/carers are invited to join us in the
hall as the children take to the catwalk in our Easter parade.
We will have a panel of judges to select the winners from
each class. These lucky winners will receive a gorgeous
Easter egg.
Get creative with your children over the coming weeks! We
look forward to seeing their amazing creations!

Please can we ask that parents
do not park in the school car
park, the car park is for staff and
visitors and parking is extremely
limited. Unfortunately, on a
regular basis parents block in
staff’s cars and also occupy the
disabled bay thus preventing
visitors who are disabled being able to park. By doing this
the car park is becoming a hazard and puts children’s safety
at risk. Please help us by reconsidering where you park.
Many thanks with your support with this.
