Thank you again for everybody who donated money for Children in Need – the total raised was £237 for bringing in the bears and a further £72.75 for the sale of the biscuits.

We currently have a sickness and diarrhoea bug in school. To try to prevent the spread of this could you please ensure that you keep your child off school for 24 hours after the last bout. Thank you.

A reminder that the deadline for applications for pupil admissions for the 2006/2007 intake is 31st January 2007. Packs are available from the Coumes office if you require one.

The children’s Christmas lunch will be on Monday 11th December at a cost of £1.60. If you haven’t received a letter with these details please send the money in an envelope marked with your child’s name, class and what it is for and send to the office Monday morning.

We wish all our choir children good luck for their performance at the Arena on Friday 1st December. After many weeks of rehearsing and lots of excitement, we’re sure they’ll have a wonderful time and that they will sing well.

The Y4 children have now finished their block of swimming lessons. Their behaviour, attitude and manners has been excellent and the swimming instructors have commented favourably on this. The Y3 children will begin lessons after Christmas and we need a willing parent who could accompany us each Thursday morning for 10 weeks. If anyone could help out please let Mrs Wilson know.
