Weekly News Update

Dear all, 

We have had another busy week filled with visitors and discos!

On Sunday, I will be representing the school alongside our School Worship Leaders at the Glastonbury Remembrance Sunday Memorial Walk. The walk starts at the Town Hall at 10.50am and finishes at the church, where there will be a two-minute silence. It would be wonderful to see some of you lining the streets to show your support.

On Wednesday 11th November, we will be holding our own Remembrance Service at school. This will include a minute's silence at 11.00am and the reading of the names of those who fell, which are commemorated on our memorial plaque.

Families are very welcome to join us for this special service. Please arrive at school and join us on the playground at 10.50am.  If your child is part of a club outside of school, eg Browines, Cadets or Scouts, they are welcome to come into school wearing their club uniform on Wednesday. 

We are still very much in need of bric-a-brac, bottles of alcohol and tombola prizes. Tombola donations could include good-quality, unused toiletries, gift sets, unwanted gifts, candles, chocolates and other suitable items.

Please continue to bring in your donations. Your generosity and support are very much appreciated and will help make our fundraising a success!

Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Kerry Devane (Headteacher)

Please see below an example of the food served this week.

You can also see that we have started decorating the tables, which has been very well received by the children. One child even remarked that we should have candles!

On Fridays, we have also continued our popular Disco Friday theme in the hall, complete with disco lights and music, creating a fun and lively atmosphere for the children to enjoy.
