Pakistan Tragedy I am sure, like me, you have all been moved by the awful news from Pakistan. At this time, I would ask all the community to come together to show compassion and to appreciate all that we take for granted. We will aim to do some fund raising in the New Year following further clarification.
 
Mad Hatter’s Tea Party On the 15th January 2015, we are asking our children to join in and enjoy a healthy nutritious lunch. It will be a themed menu to coincide with the National Hat Day, appropriately being called ‘Mad Hatters Tea Party’. Children will be handed out hat templates to design and create a ‘mad hat’. Templates will go into a prize draw, so get your thinking hats on! (no pun intended)
The lunch menu with reply slips will be sent out, please send in money and slips by the 9th January 2015.
 
The Happy Puzzle Company are returning to Cranbrook! This will be led by Mind Missions, who are hands on with Maths, thinking and team building expeditions.
