Go Green For MacMillan Cancer Support To raise funds for MacMillan Cancer Support, a charity that cares for people living with cancer, the school councillor’s have planned a special week of fundraising for the first week after half term. We want all children to vote for a “GREEN” character they would like to see painted on the reading wall, situated on the middle floor. Children can choose between Shrek and Kermit the Frog. To vote they need to bring some money into school and drop it into the collection bucket for their favourite. At the end of the week the character that has raised the most money is the winner!
Children can show their support for MacMillan by wearing something green on Wednesday 7th November and coming along to the cake sale on Thursday 8th November.

Library If you have any unwanted good quality children’s books at home, please could you donate them to the school library. They can be sent in with your child.

Wet Playtime We are looking for donations of unwanted good quality board games for children to play with during wet playtime. These can be handed into the school office.

Year 6 Trip to Glasbury Presently, we have 17 children who are attending the residential trip in July next year. This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to learn new life skills as well as experience many exciting activities. Please do feel free to speak to any of the Year 6 staff team for further information.
