ILLEGAL PARKING ON VYCES ROAD
Following a complaint from local resident, please can we ask parents to be considerate and law abiding when parking on Vyces road to drop off / collect children. There are double yellow lines on a large part of this road and you should not be stopping there. The road is very narrow in parts and parking there causes danger to pedestrians and potential damage to property. Thank you

FRIENDSHIP DAY – RECIPE FOR A GOOD FRIEND
Many pieces of work completed during Friendship Day were thoughtful and of high quality. Here is just one example by Mark Bennett (RV)
You will need: a cup of honesty, 4 clovers of good luck, a dash of friendship and a big dollop of sensitivity (If you have no sensitivity you can use carefulness) and of course, a person.
1. Tip the cup of honesty over your person, you now shouldn’t be lying to them.
2. Hold the clovers in your hand and blow them onto the person, you should now be very lucky with your friendship.
3. Sprinkle the dash of friendship over them, they should be acting like a true friend (so should you)
4. Eat the dollop of sensitivity (you should now be as kind as possible if they become upset). If you have no sensitivity wipe the carefulness onto your hands, you should now be careful with your friendship.
5. You should now have a good friend
