Weekly News Update

Dear all, 

Wear It Yellow Day 💛🎨

Next Friday, we’ll be brightening up the school for Wear It Yellow Day, in support of St Margaret’s Hospice. We’d love the children to join in by wearing something yellow — the brighter and sunnier, the better! Any donations would be greatly received.

You may also spot some of our children’s wonderful paintings proudly displayed in the window. Do have a look when you’re passing and see if you can spot their fantastic artwork!

Books and Puzzles Club 📚🧩

Mrs Veevers and Mrs Smith have asked us to let families know that they are looking for puzzles and games that they could use for their Books and Puzzles Club. If you have any suitable puzzles or games at home that are no longer being used and you would be happy to donate, we would be very grateful.

Reception Trip to The Egg Theatre 🎭

Reception had a lovely trip to The Egg Theatre to watch Not Now, Bernard. The children had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

A big thank you to Miss James for organising the trip and to the Wells Literacy Festival for sponsoring the event and making it possible for our families to enjoy this experience for free.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Kerry Devane (Headteacher)
