A note from Mr Applegate
- A huge well done to Dance Live, who won their heat last week in Guildford. Finals are on Thurs 24th April in Portsmouth!
- Wondering what to do over Easter? Book a free Farm Visit here
- Thanks to Year 6 for running a cake sale today as part of their Agent of Change project.
- Spring Reports for Years 1-5 come out after Easter, in time for Parents’ Evenings.
- We’re looking forward to our Music Spectacular on Thursday – a chance for our musicians to show off to the school. If your child is interested in taking up an instrument, let us know as the deadline is the end of April for lessons in September.
- Remember, we finish for Easter on Thursday 3rd April as Friday is an INSET, and return to school Tuesday 22nd April.
Have a great weekend, Mr Applegate :)
