Dear Parents / Carers
We hope that everyone enjoyed the workshop with author Jack Meggitt-Phillips on Tuesday. He was very enthusiastic and engaging and gave an entertaining assembly. Huge thanks to Chiltern Bookshops and Mrs Mannick for organising this event.
World Book Day is on Thursday 2nd March- children are very welcome to dress as their favourite book character. There will be book related activities in school today.
Nearly-new books - If you have any children's books in good condition that you no longer need and are happy to donate, please bring them into school. We will be using these books as part of a World Book Day event. Even one or -two books would be appreciated! Books can be handed to teachers or there is a drop box in the school office.
U11 Boys Football team victory - the U11s team played an exciting away game at Chesham Bois School on Wednesday. After initially going 2-0 down they put in a really good team performance to claim a decisive 4-6 victory, Good luck to them in the next round of the U11s cup when they play Butlers Court School next Friday.
Gym club - parents have been invited to watch their children at gym club next Thursday morning. We would ask that parents attending do not use the staff car park but park away from school and walk up to the main entrance. Many thanks for your support with this.
