World Thinking Day for Rainbows, Brownies and Guides
February 22nd is World Thinking Day for Rainbows, Brownies and Guides and it is a time when the girls think about all our guiding members across the world. February 22 was chosen as it was the birthday of Scouting and Guiding founder Robert Baden-Powell and of Olave Baden-Powell, his wife and World Chief Guide.
Those children that are part of Scouting or Guiding may, if they wish, come to school in their Rainbow, Brownie, Guide, Beaver, Cub, Scout uniform on Friday 27 February (as this is the closest Friday to Thinking Day).
This is not a fundraising activity so no money is involved, just a nice thing to do!

HALF TERM
Next week is half term, and the children return to school on Monday 23 February.
Please note: Thomas Mills High School have a PD Day on Friday 13 February.  We do not have a non-pupil day here, so children should be in school that day.

Wishing you all a relaxing short break.

Remember: Please ensure you always write your child’s name and class on the back of any cheques you pay to the school or to SCC.
