Dean Park trips
A little reminder of our trips this week…
Monday – Primary 1 & 1/2
Tuesday – Primary 2/3 & 5
Wednesday – Primary 4 & 6
Thursday – Primary 7
If you are providing your child with their packed lunch, please put it in a carrier bag. That way when the children are finished eating, the bags can go in the bin (saves any nice packed lunches being lost or damaged at the park and means the children don’t have to carry it around for the remainder of the day). Also, we kindly ask that no fizzy juice be given to the children for school trips.
Clothing – Please wear school polo shirt and jumper/cardigan on top and comfortable trousers on bottom. Wear sensible shoes and please prepare for the weather (i.e. rain jacket or sun cream)
Thank you!
Summer Raffle!!
Our raffle tickets for the big summer prize giveaway are all ready and waiting. All you have to do is log onto parent pay and buy the tickets. You have to be in it to win it!!

It looks so much better already. Keep an eye out for our future dates. Your help would be very much appreciated!!
