Dear Parents,
Our younger children thoroughly enjoyed meeting the author Abie Longstaff today. I did put a message on the blog/facebook about buying books but I appreciate it was short notice. Mrs Horsham has agreed to have some of her books for sale in the reception area after school on Monday for anyone who missed the initial message.
Mrs Napier has kindly sorted the lost property out for us and the good news is that named items will be returned to your children today. However, we have an abundance of unnamed jumpers/cardigans, T-Shirts etc. -If your child has lost items in school this term you will have the opportunity to reclaim them from the KS2 playground after school on Monday.
