• Book Sale

  Thu 28 Mar 2024

  Dear Parents,
  Thank you for your support for the book sale this morning.
  Many children went home with lots of books.  It is great to see such a buzz around reading.
  Please check that all the books purchased were  suitable and appropriate.
  Many books have been donated to us and it is not always possible to check every individual title.
  
  
  We are always grateful for every book donation.  If you are doing a spring clean over the holidays and find library, reading or AR books please bring them back in
  to school, no questions asked.
  
       We managed to raise £149.50 for good causes. So thank you again.
  
                                  Mrs McBrien
