14 March 2008

The children in Year 4 will be going to Manor Adventure on Monday 17^th March returning on Thursday 20^th. I hope they all have a great time.

The last day of school this term is Thursday 20^th March.I hope that you all have an enjoyable Easter break and I look forward to welcoming all the children back to school on Tuesday 8^th April. Three new children will be joining class 1; Jack, Daniel and Paige. Mrs Woodly will also be joining the staff as a new Learning Support Assistant in Class 1 on two afternoons a week.

My thanks go to Mrs O’Hara who has worked so hard to keep the school clean and tidy over the last few months. She will continue to work as a lunch time supervisor. The position of school cleaner is to be filled by Mrs Sames who starts her new job during the Easter holidays.
