Dates and Events

 

World Mental Health Day

We are promoting WMHD on Friday 8th October. We will have fun activities throughout the school to support our staff & pupils wellbeing. It would be great if staff & children could wear something YELLOW, but please don’t go out and buy clothes because it can be a T-shirt but it can be a homemade badge, headband, ribbon, mask, cape, etc. If you haven’t anything at home the teachers will ensure the children will make something in class.The children can still wear their school uniform if you wish.

We will not be making any collection but there are many ways online to support groups such as

Harvest

We will be celebrating Harvest on Thursday 14th October. They will reflect on and be thankful for the things we often take for granted and share in bread and jam freshly (and safely) made in school. We don't require money but would be grateful if you could donate a tin, jar, packet of food to support the Food Bank. Our local distribution is Hope Church and they have helped many families who continue to be in need especially due to Covid and the economic climate. You can donate a full carrier bag if you wish! or donate online at https://www.trusselltrust.org/make-a-donation/
