Exciting news
Our visitors from Datong arrived on Monday after a very long flight.  They were very impressed by everything they saw in the school and were particularly pleased with the behaviour of the children.  They are keen to develop a relationship with us and we will continue working with them over the next few months to ensure that this happens.

After school clubs

Please note that this week’s Friday Badminton club session was replaced by the visit to Castle Leisure Centre on Wednesday.  Therefore the next session will be on Thursday 28th January.

FGAPS – Family night out
Unfortunately some families haven’t received their invitation to purchase a snail for the snail racing night.

We have got an extension from the snail racing company to get our details in by Monday next week.

It costs £3.00 to name a snail which will be live on the virtual race, £20.00 to sponsor a race – your business will be on the screen throughout the race.  If you would like to name a snail (£3.00) or sponsor a race, please write the snail’s name/company details, child’s name and class on a piece of paper and pop in an envelope marked snail race with the £3.00/£20.00. The owner of the winning snail in each race will receive £10.00 (see Fundeo snail racing on the web for more details)

Invitations to the event will be sent out tomorrow.

FGAPs meeting
There will be a meeting of FGAPs on Monday 1st February at 8.00 pm in the Ainsworth Arms.  Everyone is welcome!
