MORNING ROUTINE – FOLLOW ON
We are grateful to all those families who are following our school morning routine.  Having spoken with some families we would like to clarify that from 8.30am the playground is supervised by school staff, they will be standing at either end of the playground for the safety of the children.

SCENERY REQUIRED!
Preparation for the Year 6 production of ‘Wind in the Willows’ in June is currently underway.  In order to create a wonderful stage set, we are in need of very large pieces of card that can be painted as scenery.  If you have some please can you speak to Mrs Armstrong or Mr Brook? Ideally we would want it in school straight after half term.  Thank you.
