Our annual Sunflower Tea will take place tomorrow at 10.30am in aid of St.Andrew’s Hospice. Our Pr. 1 – 3 pupils will join parents and grandparents to provide entertainment at 11.00am (15 minutes earlier than quoted in the newsletter). The children have really practiced so you won’t want to miss them. They are stars in the making.
