Dear Parents/Carers,
It has been lovely to welcome the children back this week.
World Book Day
Children are invited to come to school dressed as their favourite book character OR an outfit they like to read in, such as comfy clothes or pyjamas. As always, dressing up is optional, and your child can wear their school uniform if they would prefer not to dress up.
Nursery Open Mornings
We are holding two Nursery open mornings on Tuesday 11th March and Tuesday 18th March. Please see the attached flyer for more information.
Sickness (vomiting) or Diarrhoea
Please can we remind you that it is school policy that a child should remain away from school for 48 hours from the last episode of any vomiting or diarrhoea.
