Hello everyone!
The clocks have gone forward, we’ve just had a lovely sunny weekend and Easter is on its way!
It’s just over 2 years ago that school and life changed completely due to COVID. Whilst we have come through so much it still feels like we have a way still to go. A massive thank you for all your support during these challenging times and it was lovely to see so many happy faces during the parents’ evenings. We appreciate your continued support.
Anyway…there’s lots to tell you about!

Nuts in school
Nut Products are not allowed in school. There have been a few incidences where children are bringing Nutella into school, which is not allowed due to severe nut allergies. Also we are a Healthy School and hold an award as such, so request that sweets are not put into packed lunches.

Eggs! We need eggs!
With Easter fast approaching, the egg decorating competition will be back. Some may call these paste eggs!
Year 6 pupils are asked to bring a hard boiled egg for Thursday.
Reception to year 5 classes are asked to bring in for Friday.
4AS should not bring one as they will be supplied with a suitable egg.
Top tip from Mr Douglas…
“I always suggest that the children bring an egg in with a single colour base coat of paint if they know they’ll need it otherwise the first hour of the day is about as fun as watching paint dry!”
Wise words! So add a base coat at home if you want!
