LOST PROPERTY
There are lots of items in our lost property container. Can we please encourage all children and parents to seek for lost items in the container sited at the end of the corridor at the top of the stairs above the Nursery. Needless to say, lots of the items are unnamed – so please can we ask that parents ensure names are on all personal items brought into school – especially sweatshirts. ANY ITEMS NOT CLAIMED BY FRIDAY 16 DECEMBER WILL BE GIVEN TO THE FRIENDS CHARITY BAG COLLECTION ON 13 JANUARY.
SICKNESS & DIARRHOEA
We have had a number of children come down very quickly with upset tummy’s last week. Please can we remind parents that if your child is affected they should be kept off for 48 hours after the last bout of sickness or diarrhoea to prevent infecting other pupils, thank you.

After covering any costs in relation to the plays, the balance of the collections will go to the EACH appeal.
