We believe that our children should have the aspiration and opportunity to ‘Live life in all its fullness’ and ‘Shine like stars in the sky’.
LAST CALL FOR JAM…
Many thanks to all those who have already replied about next Tuesday’s JAM Messy Church session. Should your child wish to take part, please could you let Miss Mandelson know by the close of today? Many thanks as this really helps with numbers for catering and resourcing.
FOREST SCHOOL
Just a reminder that children in Nursery to Year Three need a long sleeve top and full-length trousers for forest school every Wednesday afternoon. Please could you also ensure that you send your child with waterproofs? Whilst we have some spare waterproofs in school, each week more and more children are relying on school spares and we don't have enough for everybody. Thank you for your support with this.
We are looking for parent helpers for the sessions on Wednesdays 18th and 25th June. Please let us know if you can spare some time and would like to join the fun!
MOANA REHEARSALS
During the weeks commencing
Monday 16th June and
Monday 23rd June,
Years 4, 5 and 6 will be attending rehearsals at
Kirkby Malzeard, while
Year 3 will remain in school and continue with their usual learning timetable. Parents of children in KS2 should have received an email with further details from Miss Marlow earlier in the week.
