A reminder that we have an Open Evening, this Thursday, 16th March 5:15 – 6:45pm which is an opportunity for children to share work and achievements with their family.
It is Comic Relief Day on Friday 24th March and Primary 2 are going to be holding their joint assembly and running activities during the morning in the hall. It is going to be a non-uniform day and we are asking the children to come dressed in bright clothes on the day. We would appreciate any donations towards this and the activities in the hall. We will be selling red noses around the school from Monday 13th March at the cost of £1.
