Hi Moms and Dads

The children and their dad’s had a great time last Friday evening at our Dad’s Camp Out! Thanks to all those who supported and helped on the evening.
The cars were safely watched by John who we hired for the evening and we were also able to park all vehicles in Paul Greyling’s ground, which helped considerably.
Just a reminder that class and individual photos will be taken next week and Wednesday 1st April is the last day of the first term. School ends at 10.30am, but Stay and Play continues as usual until 6pm. The children can dress up and make an Easter hat!!

FACEBOOK
Please read updates and messages on facebook.

And on that note...

Have a super week everyone. Please don't hesitate to chat to me or the teachers if you have any queries or concerns.
