NURSERY
Next Friday, 30th January, Nursery are having a ‘Creative Day’ and would love you to come along and have some fun with your child. You can make junk models, paint, draw, build things out of lego – whatever you and your child would like to do together!
To enable you to have as much fun as possible, learning and playing with your child we’d appreciate it if you could make alternative childcare arranements for younger brothers/sisters.
Please let Mrs. Mallin or Mrs. Athey know if you would like to come. Could parents/carers please arrive at 10.30am for our morning Nursery session and 2.00pm for our afternoon Nursery session. Please bring children at their normal starting time.
NURSERY & RECEPTION
Could we please remind parents that children need wellies whenever possible brought into school in a bag to be kept on their peg. The outside play area is very muddy at the moment and we only have a limited number of spares which means some children are not able to go out. Could Nursery children also bring a change of clothes so that in the event of a fall they can be changed. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
FLORA COOKING WITH SCHOOLS
Thank you to everyone who collected the ‘Cooking with Schools’ tokens from the Flora tubs. We have ordered some great utensils to be used in our after school cookery club!

FOOD LOCAL FOOD
We have been contacted by a local company who have offered us the chance to raise much needed funds for our school whilst at the same time receiving a healthy grocery bag conveniently delivered to the school for pick up with the children on Friday afternoons.
The food bags cost £10.00 (£1.00 of which will be donated to our school) and contain:
• Fresh loaf of brown bread
• 1litre local semi-skimmed milk
• ½ dozen free-range eggs
• A large bag of Tritlington vegetables; always potatoes, carrots and onions with 4 other in season varieties, no less than 500g of each and no less than a kilo of potatoes.
We need to place the order for the grocery bags on a Tuesday, so if you would like a grocery bag ready for the weekend, could you please inform the school office no later than Tuesday morning.
