Newsflash The first week after half term will be 'Bonfire Bonanza' week in 3.15 club On 'Make your own snack Monday' we will be making bread stick sparklers. Throughout the week there will be the opportunity to make a variety of bonfire and firework crafts. On 'Film night Friday' we will be relaxing on the sofa enjoying hot chocolate and marshmallows, watching ‘Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs’.
School Needs Your Help! Do you have good sewing skills? Are you a whizz on the sewing machine? We are looking for volunteers to help us to make some new Christmas costumes. Please speak to the office if you can help. Also if you could donate any unwanted material, cottons etc.… this would be appreciated.
