Please note that children are allowed and encouraged to bring a tracksuit/jogging bottom/old sweatshirt to wear over their PE kit when they have outdoor games in the cold weather. They are not allowed to simply wear the sweatshirt they have worn to school that day, they must have a ‘change of clothes’. A change of footwear is also advisable.

The winner of the Sponsored Penalty Shootout football top is Sam Baines in Miss Churchard’s class who raised over £200 in sponsorship. Well done Sam

Thank you to everybody who has entered the ‘Pudsey Makeover’ competition – a total of £39.50 has been raised and the winner will be announced next week. £56.50 has also been raised from the sale of Pudsey biscuits. Thank you to Mrs Revitt who has made all of the biscuits.
