From the 12th – 19th of October we will be hosting a Scholastic Travelling Book Fair. The commission from sales at the fair allows us to purchase new books for the library and class reading lessons, so every book you buy helps us. There are lots of exciting new titles on sale as outlined in the brochure attached to this parent mail.
Autumn Fair - It was good to see so many people supporting our Autumn fair on Saturday. We were so lucky with the weather and everyone enjoyed playing the games on the playground and having a welcome opportunity to catch up with each other. The highlights of the day were the visits to the animals and the amazing Science show in the hall. It was fantastic to hear children squealing with amazement and excitement as the scientific experiments were explained and took place before their eyes with bursts of flame and loud explosions! It was so informative and captivating we aim to book workshop sessions for the whole school later in the academic year.
Many thanks to the members of the NST and their group of helpers for their hard work to enable events like this to take place at our school.
