Next Thursday 2nd March, we will be celebrating World Book Day. We have lots of fun activities in store for that day, but we are also inviting pupils to dress up!

There is not cost for this. We are asking children to come to school dressed as either their favourite character from a book, or dressed in their pyjamas and to bring along their favourite bedtime story.

Please note, we do not want this to be an added expense to our families, in what is already a difficult financial climate, we simply want to celebrate our love of books and have a fun day doing so! Please see below some inexpensive costume  ideas and how we can support you…

To support out families, we are asking if you have any donations of clothing which would be suitable for dressing up as a book character or pyjamas, we would welcome these to be added to our clothing bank located within the school, which will then be made available to our families.

If you can help us, please send you donations into school and these will be made available to our families from the reception area next Tuesday and Wednesday whilst the children are off school due to Industrial Action. Simply come along to the main entrance, and a member of staff present will help you.

Please note that the date for our school poetry competition will be Wednesday 1st February 1.30-3pm.

Your child may already have their class poem sent home. We would appreciate your support in helping them to practise this.

3 finalists from each class will be selected prior to this, and parents/carers will be notified, to ensure that enough time is given to make arrangements in order to attend.

The school app has been updated accordingly.
