What three things would you take to a deserted island?

This Week

I would just like to start by saying please can I remind parents, that if issues are happening within the classroom, that you do speak to the teachers before you come to me. It can be really tricky if I am unaware of incidents and lots of things mentioned to me on the gate, are a class teachers responsibility, so please do go to them in the first instance. They are the experts with your children as they are with them each day. Thank you for your support with this. A reminder for Open Classroom next Tuesday - the gates will open at 3pm, you may then go to your child's class and see their work. Once you are finished you are welcome to leave before 3:25. Reminder of the JFOTC fun day next Sunday - would love to see lots of families attending and helping us to raise money! Have a lovely weekend and look forward to seeing lots of you on Tuesday.

Worship

On Monday, Sarah came in to lead worship on Palm Sunday and discuss its importance. Today we celebrated our Values in Action and all the values the children have demonstrated.
