There will be an information meeting for Y5/6 parents and children about the forthcoming Tower Wood residential. This meeting will take place on Friday 22ndJanuary at 3.20p.m. in the school hall.
At this time, there will be an opportunity to ask any pertinent questions. Also, medical and consent forms will be distributed.

Curriculum Enrichment
Author/Illustrator visit
We look forward to working with Stephen Waterhouse on Friday 15thJanuary. The children will participate in a workshop with Stephen and, they will then, produce a piece of artwork to be displayed in our school library.
Whole School History Day
On Friday 22nd January we will be organising a whole school History enrichment day with a focus on British Kings and Queens. There are lots of interesting activities planned for the day.
Headlice
We have, once again, had reports of headlice and appreciate that this can be very frustrating. It is important that we are vigilant and ask if everyone could please check their child’s hair regularly.
It would be helpful if long hair could be tied back at all times to minimise the problem. It is also perhaps a good time to remind everyone that it is school policy that hair should be tied back for Physical Education. /
