Dear Parents and Carers,
- Thanks to P2 pupils and staff who shared their learning with us on Hot and Cold Lands. A very enjoyable afternoon was had by all.
- Our Euro Quiz Team came 7th out of 22 teams which made the finals last week. The children enjoyed the experience of working at the Parliament and have given us some very good tips on areas to develop further.
- Litter: our Eco Team are leading ‘reducing litter’ with all the classes. Well done Eco Team! Please do all you can to help them by reducing packaging in packed lunches and snacks.
- ‘Earth Hour’ is on Saturday 24th March at 8.30pm. Businesses, famous landmarks and families are switching off electricity for one hour to help raise awareness for climate change. We are supporting this in school on Friday 23rd March when all classes will spend an hour ‘tech free and paper free’ and we shall switch off all non-essential appliances.
