Weekly Update, 2nd December
You may be aware that there was a car accident this morning involving one of our families. All involved are being very well looked after and I am sure you all join with us in school in sending our love to everyone involved.
Children in Classes 4 and 5 have had opportunity to talk with staff and have been reassured that their classmates are safe. Staff will be available for anyone to talk for as long as is needed.
Super fundraising!
A huge well done to Charlotte, Hannah and Frankie who ran a cake sale in their village to raise funds for Children In Need. They raised £138.26 and truly did themselves proud!
What an amazing effort girls – well done!
