A note from Mr Applegate
- We look forward to celebrating and remembering VE day next week in an age-appropriate way. Look out for the bunting.
- Great news – thanks to the Serco foundation, we’ve been given a grant of £10,000 to revamp our reflection garden (outside Year3)! Huge thanks to Anthony’s mum for her support in this. Watch this space.
- Well done to our Year 3/4 football team, who played so well against Cliddesden Primary today. We lost 3-2, but it was so close!
- Huge thanks for your sponsorship for the FOSM Readathon, currently with a total of £2,228. If you’ve not yet been able to give, you can do so here.
Have a great weekend, Mr Applegate :)
