Updates from Mrs Norden

Today's newsletter has a variety of updates including information from the Local Authority and reminders of community events.  Next half-term begins with lots of activity, so please check the information carefully.

For those Yr6s on residential from 3rd June, please come straight to the hall on Monday (3rd) morning via the rear playground doors.  For Yr5s taking part in bikeability, the vehicle gate will be opened for you to bring your bikes into school at 8.45am, where you will find Mrs Turian who will direct you to where to place them ready for the day's training.  Bikes are not to be brought into school via any other gate please, so we can assure safety and space for all users.

We hope you all have an enjoyable half-term, and we look forward to seeing you all on 3rd June.
