Weekly Updates
Good morning,
Please see below for any updates for tomorrow and the week ahead.
Red Nose Day - Friday 17th March
Our school council have been busy meeting, planning and organising lots of fundraising events for Red Nose Day in aid of comic relief tomorrow. They are asking for pupils to come dressed up in red for a donation of £1 - there will be a competition for the 'reddest' costume worn and a prize on offer.
At lunch time the council will be running a ‘red nose hunt’ on the field - 50p to enter. Finally, after school the children will be running a tombola and bake sale - any donations will be gratefully received (e.g. toys, books, games, box of biscuits or chocolates), please give to your child's class teacher next week and drop any baking off on the day. The council have set themselves a target to beat our Children in Need total of £239.74 from November - fingers crossed!
In school next week...
