AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

As you know we also run a wide variety of fun after school clubs, free of charge, which provide excellent opportunities to enrich and expand your children’s education. If your child is interested in joining a club it would be wise to put their name down early to ensure a place. A list of the clubs available will be out shortly.

Finally, as drinking water regularly throughout the day has proved to be beneficial to concentration and learning, we would appreciate you sending your child in each day with a refillable, clear plastic bottle of water, (available from school office £1) which will be clearly labelled with your child’s name.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I hope you find it informative and useful. You might want to stick it to your fridge for future reference. If you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to make an appointment to meet with me after school.

Yours Sincerely.

 

Mrs Craig (Year 3 teacher).
