Separate letters have been sent out requesting donations for the stalls at the fair and the own clothes arrangements.

Please return the form as soon as possible and make sure that we can get the photographs back to you before Christmas.

Francis House butterflies:- Many thanks again to everyone who has purchased one of the badges for our Autumn term charity. The total raised is now £426.00.

Road Safety Week:- This week is National Road Safety week and the children have had reminders about how to stay safe near roads, especially now that the clocks have been put back and the evenings are darker. Reflectors have been issued to as many children as we could. We now need to remind all parents about the use of appropriate safety belts and booster seats in cars.

Science shows:- Today, the science specialist Adrian Bowden came into school to enlighten some of our children on matters scientific. Thank you for your financial contributions. Please ask your children what they learned and see if you can perhaps repeat some of the experiments at home.
