Weekly Heads Up – We had a great day on Friday at our school swimming sports. Well Done to everyone who took part. Congratulations to all of you who qualified for Malvern. J ** Harriers - ** If you are participating in harriers (Mon, Wed, Fri) weather permitting, please ensure you have suitable footwear at school. ** Swimming - ** We are swimming everyday this week, with an instructor, so please ensure togs are at school so all can participate. ** Homework - ** Please make sure your homework is completed and handed in by 9am Friday morning. If we have a short week it is expected that you will catch up on the extra day and have it all completed. If there is something you don’t understand it’s a good decision to come and speak with the teacher **//before//** the due day. All our homework is designed to support the classroom programme. ** Water - ** Could all children please bring a fresh water bottle (named) to school for during class time. This keeps children hydrated – essential for learning, and minimises disruption as the children then do not need to leave the classroom.
 * Tissues - ** Could all families please donate a box of tissues for classroom use. As you can imagine we go through many boxes and if everyone contributes to this our costs are considerably less. Thank you.
