Vote For Tomas Fleming - Reading Chronicle Christmas Card Competition
Tomas Fleming from Orange Class has had his entry selected to be on the short list for this exciting competition supported by Hunt & Nash Estate Agents. We will be getting more information, but apparently we can text our support for Tomas's entry and then it might be selected to be the chosen one how exciting!
VOTE FOR TOMAS!
Blue Peter/Unicef Appeal - ShowBiz Appeal
Bring us your old Shoes!!!!
This year, the Blue Peter Appeal has joined forces with Unicef to raise money for orphans in Malawi. Thanks to Tom in Green Class and his mum, Katie Sabberton-Coe, our school is now a collection point for your old, unwanted shoes. The shoes need to be a matching pair with no holes. Tie them together with string or an elastic band and drop them into school. Take a look at the web-site http://www.shoebizappeal.org.uk/
Thank you to our Parent Volunteers!
We are so lucky that we have many parents who come into school and volunteer their time with us. I would like to say a big thank you on behalf of all the staff and children, as it makes such a difference to lessons when there are more adults to work alongside the children.
