Events Review
Thank you to all those parents and families who have supported events this half term. It is sometimes frustrating that three key events are held so closely to each other but we don't want to miss out on sharing in the nationwide celebrations of Maths, books and Science in schools, as well as enjoying the fun of Red Nose Day and raising almost £300.
It was also lovely to see so many of our Foundation Stage families joining their children in egg decorating and well done to all our children who have produced some fantastic creations this year.
