Dear parents,

We are really looking forward to our school trip to Lyme Regis on Tuesday. Fingers crossed the weather will be good for us. Please remember to send your child with a waterproof coat or sun hat and sun cream, depending on the weather forecast and a towel to sit on and for paddling. Children will need to bring a lunch and a water bottle if you haven't booked a school lunch. PLEASE NAME EVERYTHING.  Please consider what shoes your child wears as it is a pebbly beach. The Reception children will be visiting the lifeboat centre, Year 1 will be fossil hunting with Geologists and Year 2 will be completing some Geography fieldwork.  

Can I please draw your attention to the workshop (see below). Parents often approach us about difficulties they are having at home. The 'Tuning into kids' is a fantastic course and a step in the right direction to get the help you need. If you would like to attend please book a space with Mrs Denslow in the office. 

Enjoy the sunshine!
