CLASSROOM BOOK AMNESTY!
Do you have any school books which have been borrowed from classroom libraries and are now lying around in bedrooms?! If so, could you please send them back into school. Don't worry if these have been borrowed during a previous academic year - we will make sure they end up back in the right place! Thanks for your co-operation with this.
WOOD!
The children in the Foundation Stage and Year 1 have enjoyed using the woodwork trolley. Unfortunately we have run out of wood. If anyone has any offcuts of wood that we could have, please could you bring them in for us. We would also like any tools you no longer use, nails and bottle tops. Thank you, Miss Tierney, Miss Yolland and Mrs McIntyre.
