Inaugural Parent-Teacher Association Meeting

We’d like to organise an official parent-teacher association meeting.  All parents are welcome to attend.  Parents interested in attending the meeting should reply to this email, indicating whether a day or evening time would suit best.  The meeting will be to discuss the establishment of the PTA as well as to begin planning for a school event/fundraiser that will take place in April.

 

Healthy Eating

This week we made healthy sandwiches and tried out various fillings including tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese and hummus.  Many thanks to everyone for sending in all the healthy and interesting lunches.  A reminder that we’d ask parents not to send in any sweets, chocolate, fizzy drinks, crisps and other similar items.
