**Weekly Newsletter**

**4th Nov 2021**

**Let your light shine through family, friendship and faith**

**Join us for Remembrance Day**

We would love you to join us at the war memorial on Thursday 11th November at 10.45am.

With this event being outdoors, we are able to include parents and grandparents, which is so good! I need to remind you to follow all COVID precautions on this morning. We hope you can join us.

**Children in Need**

We will be supporting Children in Need on Friday 12th November. On this day, please send your child to school in non-uniform. If you wish to send in a donation for Children in Need, we would be very grateful. Please send any donations into school in a purse or envelope. Many thanks in advance for your support.

**No Nuts Please in Lunch Boxes**

Just to remind parents that we have a no nut policy for lunchboxes in school. At present we do have children with some reaction to nuts in school, so as a health and safety precaution, we appreciate your support on this matter.

**Open Morning on Saturday 13th November**

We are having an open morning for reception and nursery aged eligible pupils on Saturday 13th November 10.00am-12.00pm. If you know of anyone with children this age, please can you pass this information on, or would like to come and look around yourself, please come along!

Best wishes

Mrs Clarey and Team
