Dear Parents and Carers,

Well done to everyone for the fabulous costumes on display yesterday, there were some very creative ideas. The pupils had a great day reading alongside their peers in other classes and decorating their classroom doors. Look out on the blog for the photographs of best dressed and door decorations.
Recent Events in our Community
We are all deeply saddened at the recent senseless attack and loss of life in our community last week. Our heartfelt condolences go to the family of Jodie Chesney and all affected by the tragic loss.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the display of purple ribbons outside of the school. The way the whole community has come together is a testament to what we can achieve together.
