Dear Parents and Carers,
I feel like I should begin this newsletter with an apology. We all joined in with our sponsored walk today...and there was rather a lot of mud...and we have rather a lot of muddy shoes. I really apologise!
I would like to say a huge thank you to all of you who have so very kindly sponsored, and encouraged others to sponsor, the children for the walk today. I have a feeling that we will have raised a substantial amount of money to buy books for the children who are at school right now and this will be down to all of you and your friends and your family.
Thank you so much!
We have had a great week, again, at Balladen with so many incredible things happening and so much learning going on.
The real main event though was our incredible cheerleading team and their performances at school and at Alder Grange in the competition. The girls and boys in the team did an incredible job and were the very best looking team. They came in fourth but did have a wonderful time and we are very proud of them.
Thank you again for sharing your children with us. They make our days very special.
Well done for a wonderful week everyone!
Have a wonderful weekend. I look forward to seeing all of those Monday smiles!
With respect,
Mr Neil Ringrose
