Dear Parents/Guardians,
Pancake Tuesday
To celebrate Pancake Tuesday the children can bring pancakes to school tomorrow with toppings of their choice. We will be having a mini-party in the school hall at which the children can have their pancakes and we will be providing crisps and drinks also. Our sixth class pupils have kindly offered to organise the hall for the celebration as well as organising games for all the classes. There is no obligation on any child to bring in pancakes. If you don’t want your child to have crisps/drinks please write a note in your child’s journal.
Tag Rugby
Tag Rugby continues tomorrow for the children in 1st – 6th class. The senior classes may have a Tag-Rugby blitz later in the school year.
World Book Day
