Christmas
We will be putting the Christmas Card post box in school again this year. Children can write cards to their friends (in our school only please!) and post them in the box in the school entrance. Please ensure that the full name and class is written on the envelope. We will leave cards in the box to sanitise before delivering them so please be patient – we will make sure that they are given out before Christmas.
School News
- Thank you for all the generous donations towards the FOSS Christmas events. We now have plenty of raffle prizes, but are a little short of prizes for the chocolate tombola. If you are able to donate a small chocolate bar or similar item towards this activity, please send it into school next week. Thank you.
- There is still time to purchase FOSS raffle tickets. Stubbs and money should be returned to school by 4th December. If you would like additional tickets, please contact the office.
