Mrs Charlson and Mrs Drysdale have agreed to hold a ‘Homework Club’ after school on Wednesday for children in Y5 and Y6. However last week - which was the first week of the club - we encountered several problems. Children must sign up on Tuesday to say that they are attending Homework Club on Wednesday.
Children who have signed up must attend - and not change their mind on Wednesday. Children who attend homework club must be collected at 4.30pm. Family photographs will be taken from 8.30am onwards - this is for schoolchildren and their siblings, not for parents.
Y6 are going out at 9am on this day so if you want a family photograph taken you will have to be here at 8.30am prompt. They will be back from their trip at lunchtime so will have their own photographs taken in the afternoon.
If anyone has any spare dressing-up clothes, Reception would appreciate them.
