‘The best that I can be’

Ephesians 4:31-32

Get rid of all rage and anger, fighting and gossip. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as through Jesus Christ, God forgave you.

 

 

Shakespeare Workshops Next Week

All of the children will be taking part in Shakespeare workshops on Monday to celebrate Shakespeare week. The workshops will be starting promptly at 9.00 in order to fit all the classes in, so please ensure that your children arrive in school by 8.55.

 

Office Interruptions

Many of you will be aware that Mrs. Wakeman is the only person who works in the office at our school. She has many responsibilities, including monitoring attendance and dealing with finances. She also greets visitors and answers the phone. Unfortunately, Mrs. Wakeman spends lots of time during the day dealing with enquiries and messages which could be avoided and this takes her away from her numerous admin tasks. Please try to ensure that you send your children in with the clothes and equipment that they need for the day, and that you read the newsletter and any other letters given out for dates and times of events to avoid the need to call the school. Of course, if there is an emergency, Mrs. Wakeman is always happy to help. Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.
