Dear Families,

 

Thank you to everyone who came in yellow or bright coloured clothing today.  The children have spoken about various ways to look after their mental health.  They have remembered so much from the many previous lessons, which is great to know.

Most of our children could talk about exercising, sleeping and eating healthy as well as sharing more personal activities they like to do such as colouring in, cuddling their dog, hugging parents and reading.

 

Main drive gates
Please can I ask you to not hold the main gates open at the top of the drive or let your child stand on them.  They have broken twice this week due to this.  The cost to repair them is quite significant.  

 

Harvest Festival
Don’t forget that Wednesday 15th October (2:15pm) is our Harvest Festival.  All of your donations will be going to The Trussell Trust who look after families in times of need.  Thank you in advance for your support with this.

 

Hygiene support
Co-op has donated lots of hygiene products for families in need.  There is a huge range of products from baby products, to cleaning and bathing products.  If you know of a family who would appreciate a little support at the moment, please let myself, Mrs Hughes or Mrs Bebbington know.  We can put a bag together with all sorts of necessities. 

 

October half term
As you know, we finish school on Friday 17th October, for 2 weeks.  If you need childcare for the first week, please get in touch with Bee Active who will be running a fun and active club. 

 

Dougie Mac support
If you’re having a clear out during half term please look out for information next week about how we can fund raise for Dougie Mac by donating old clothes, toys etc.
