Dear Parents,
I am really impressed with the number of parents/carers who have attended the farm afternoons this week and the feedback has been very positive-Thank you.
It is our intention to have more opportunities for the community to come in and see our farm next year.
The children have really entered into the spirit of ‘Animal Day’ we have everything from cats and dogs to tigers and lions, lizards and even some dinosaurs-thank you to those who have sent contributions for our farm.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming parents/carers in to school to watch our concerts next week. I can hear the children practising in the hall from my room and the singing is so beautiful- you are in for a treat! We will be recording this live on facebook for anyone who can not attend.
Finally I hope you have been following the exploits of those ‘Naughty Elves’ on facebook and the school blog. Thankfully I was rescued but who knows what they’ll be getting up to next week!!
