Reminders
Castles Day is Tuesday 17 March. The children may dress up as a character associated with castles or come to school in green/brown (Robin Hood!) as we will be making Robin Hood hats during the day. Please note that we will be spending a large portion of the day outside (weather permitting) so suitable footwear needs to be worn and no 'best' outfits.
Year 2 Storyboard Homework - Please ensure that your project is in school no later than Tuesday 24 March. If you have any questions, please direct them to Ms Bintcliffe or Miss Macdonald as soon as possible.
