ACTION FOR POVERTY – PIPE AND DRUM-ATHON, SATURDAY 12TH DEC

To highlight child poverty in our community, on Sat 12th December, local people will be bringing music to your ears.

We would be delighted if you could show your support, either by foot-tapping or clapping along from your doorstep.  It would also be amazing if you were in a position to be able to donate a little money to help fill their buckets.

Harvest Art

We were delighted to welcome our parents and carers into our classrooms today to showcase the children’s Harvest artwork.  The children thoroughly enjoyed sharing the skills they have been learning in art with our parents and carers and it was lovely to see our parents and carers having a go at some of the techniques too! Thank you to all those who came to support this event.

Thank you also to those who contributed to our Harvest collection for the food bank and those who bought a raffle ticket for the Harvest hamper to raise funds for our school.  Your continued support is very much appreciated.

We look forward to seeing you all again soon.
