Year 5/6 Blogpost Friday 14th March

 Dear Parents/ Carers,

We have had another exciting and busy week in Y5/6. Please could we ask that you check your child's clothing is clearly labelled as they are beginning to peel off layers and leave them around our school - unfortunately, many items have no names, meaning they are now being claimed by other children.

RAYLEIGH MOUNT

This week you would have received a letter regarding our walk to the Rayleigh Mount.

Please ensure your child is prepared with the correct footwear and a rain coat if it looks like it is going to rain. The letter is also attached to the school website.

All children have a Reading record to take home.
