Shustoke C of E Primary School

February 2013 Newsletter

It is beginning to feel like spring is just around the corner which will bring many more exciting curriculum enrichment opportunities to all of our children. We always endeavour to keep you fully informed of performances and events taking place in school; the school website is continually updated along with the notice board situated in the playground. Please check here for additional information.

Thank you Lord,

For all that you have done to help us at school

and to spread our learning where ever we go.

We thank you for special lessons that help us to learn

in a fun and exciting way.

Amen

By Eleanor and Ellie (Year 5)
