Updates from Mrs Norden

As we approach the start of December and the festive season, I feel it is a good time to consider all we celebrate at this time of year.  For me the most important aspects of the festive season are family and giving and so want to take time to say a huge thank you to you all, not only for your ongoing support of us as a school, but of the events we have held in order to support others.

Our fundraising efforts this term have been truly generous, and are gratefully received by all recipients, please see below the wonderful totals to celebrated.  I would like to especially thank the PTA, and their helping hands, for their magnificent efforts which will support further enhancements for the children's experience in school.

Funds raised this term:

PTA - £3257 

Children in Need - £368.35

‘Head to Toe’ (charity for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust) - £285.15

This time of year is also extremely busy, and although we will not be able to undertake events in the fullest manner of pre-Covid years, we will be enjoying and sharing activities as widely as we can following safety measures.  A useful sheet to support preparation and organisation for all our December activities can be found 'here' and through our 'Letters Home' web page.'  Where it says 'details to follow' we will send these out as soon as we can once we have confirmed the planning intricacies.

Finally, the weather has most definitely brought the winter winds and rain, so please can we ask you to remind your children to bring coats and accessories (named) to help keep them warm.
