Bicycles
It is lovely to see children coming to school on there bicycles but, can
parents please NOT let the children ride them in the playground, at any
time. Children must dismount before they come in the school gate and
only get back on after they have left the play ground. This is for the
safety of ALL concerned.

Multicultural Week May 16th –May 20th

As part of our interviews with the children, they have said how much they have
enjoyed studying different aspects of the Polish culture. This has been part of our
curriculum due to the increased number of Polish children in school. Recently the
children asked us if we could also study some aspects of other different cultures, so
we have agreed to hold a multicultural focus week each year. The focus this year will
be the Black/African culture. If anyone has any particular skill, expertise or resource
in this area and they would be willing to share it with us, or if they have any other
information, please contact school.
Thanking you in anticipation.
