Tomorrow we are having a visit from ‘Military Fitness’. We will get to complete an  assault course in the morning so the children will need loose comfortable clothing. They can come to school in jogging trousers, t-shirts, track suits or any suitable clothing and change into their gym shoes in the class.

Tomorrow is also St. Andrews Day and there will be a Scottish lunch on offer in the dinner hall. The children can wear something tartan if they wish.

Well done to a proud boy for winnng a medal for scoring the most goals for his team.
