Junior Final Assembly

Thanks to all who came to our Junior Final Assembly. The juniors had a great time learning these songs, practicing their moves and singing their hearts out all for YOU! We hope you had a great time and "We wish you a Merry Christmas!"

Beach Education- Help Needed

A Beach Education notice went home last week about our Beach Education day. This is coming up on Thursday 7th December. We NEED helpers please. This day is a fabulous experience for the children to learn about keeping safe at the beach but we need a ratio of 1 adult to 5 children at the moment we have four adults who are able to join us.

Please let your child's class teacher know if you can come and help!
