Film night – (this night is a money raising activity in place of a Christmas disco) Children will have this event in their classrooms. Teachers will play a Christmas film and children will have food and drinks. Children pay £2.50 to attend. Please see the individual dates for each class.
Christmas Cards – Due to the difficulties in passing cards around children and classes, we are asking parents not to send Christmas cards into school with children. We are aware that money may be tight for some parents at the moment but if parents would prefer to give a donation to school instead of buying cards, it would be much appreciated. We have not been able to do any of our usual money raising activities since September and this is a lot of money which we do not have for the children this year.
