Easter Egg Raffle Year 6 will be raffling two large Easter eggs to raise funds for their garden project. Tickets are 25p each or £1 for a strip of 5 tickets and they will be on sale in the playground.

Lost Property All unclaimed lost property will be on tables in the playground next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (weather permitting) for you to collect items of uniform and clothing. All items with name labels have already been returned to the child but please check for any mislaid items in the small hall this week. Please make a donation to the school fund for any items which you wish to take from the tables. Any remaining clothing will be either discarded or donated to a charity shop at the end of next week.
Please remember to label ALL items of your child’s uniform so that it can be easily returned when it gets mislaid!

Staffing Update Some of you may already know that Caroline left Cranbrook last Friday to start her maternity leave for the forthcoming birth of her baby, although she will be in this Friday to have her photo taken with her Year 5 class. Julia will be leaving to start her maternity leave next Friday 8th April and Joyce Barroba will be taking over her class responsibility from Tuesday 26th April. I’m sure you will join me in wishing both Caroline and Julia well.
