Dear
Parents/ Guardians,
As
winter has well and truly set in I would urge parents to
ensure their children wear coats to school at this time
of year. Seasonal colds and flu are already doing the
rounds but hopefully we will be spared any serious
medical outbreaks this year.
Our
special good wishes go out to Emma Power from 1st
class who is currently recovering from a serious
operation in Beaumont hospital. We wish her a speedy
recovery.
School
Photos
Colorific
photos went out to all families on Friday .If you wish
to purchase your child’s photos please have payment in
by Friday 26th November. Families are under
no obligation to buy photos, just return the pack if not
purchasing.

might seem a little early but we are now beginning
preparation for our Carol service which will be held in
