Some of our clan have created baubles for their pets. To advertise our Christmas baubles we have created sways. Please take a look at our Sways below.

Reminders

Playground
Weather permitting children will have the opportunity to play on the grass at break and lunch times. If they wish to play on the grass or in the Adventure Zone, they should bring a change of shoes to wear. My advice is to wear their normal school shoes or P.E day shoes to school and have a pair of old wellies/ trainers/ change of socks that they can keep in school for the days they would like to play on the grass. The reason for changing shoes is mainly for their comfort, so your child is not in school with wet feet and also to preserve our carpets, etc for as long as possible.
A reminder of the options available at lunch times are here: 
Christmas Lunch
Children are able to wear a Christmas jumper or themed accessory to school tomorrow over their school uniform.
