Weekly Update Friday 21st March

I hope this update finds you well and looking forward to all the exciting events we have planned as we approach the Easter break! We started this week with out St Patrick's day Assembly. Some of the children were very keen to try Irish dancing. I have put some links to activities on our 'Learning Links' page.

Red Nose Day Success! A huge thank you to everyone who took part in Red Nose Day! The children looked absolutely fantastic dressed in red, and we are thrilled to share that we raised an amazing £160 for charity. Your generosity and support make a real difference—thank you!

PTA Quiz Night – New Date! Unfortunately, we had to cancel our PTA Quiz Night tonight, but don't worry—it has been rearranged for Friday 9th May. We would love for as many of you as possible to support this fun event, so please save the date!

Special Sausage Pasta Day – Tuesday 25th March Our Clever Chefs will be serving up a delicious Special Sausage Pasta dish for school lunch next Tuesday—something for the children (and staff) to look forward to!

Bishops Waltham ‘Rethinking Rubbish’ Recycling Day – Saturday 22nd March Join the local community at Jubilee Hall from 10am-2pm this Saturday for a fantastic event focused on recycling and sustainability. A great way to get involved and learn more about caring for our environment!

A Special Mention goes to Hudson in Year 1 this week. His mum wrote in to say he helped to organise a cake sale for charity, even baking the gingerbread men! He also helped to sell the cakes, and was very good at working out the change! Well done Hudson-you raised £123 for a school in West Africa-Congratulations from us all!

Usbourne Book Delivery We were overjoyed this week to receive a delivery of Usbourne books, made possible from the books bought on World Book Day. Thank you to everyone who bought a book, and to Laura for running a stall. We look forward to reading them with our children.
