Rugby Megafest

Class 1 and 2 Visit to Bedfords Park
Fun was had by all in Class 1 and 2 when they visited Bedfords Park on Thursday. They first had the opportunity to observe and explore the park to look for trees and plants and later in the afternoon went on a bug hunt. The children were a real credit to our school. Well done Class 1 and 2.

As previously explained, if we do not hear from you when your child is absent, we will contact all the people on your list and, if necessary, visit your home to check that your child is safe and well. You should phone to let us know where your child is as soon as possible on the morning that they are going to be away.
