We wish you all a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Well done everyone for creating such superb entries yet again for Truro Primestock Show. It was a hard decision, but three entries for each age group were chosen to exhibit in the classes on behalf of the school. Our pupils again did very well indeed with prizes in nearly every class - with Y5/Y6 children winning the prize for the most points in their age group classes & Isabella Coley winning a cup for the best Children’s Christmas card. Congratulations everyone!
COUGHS AND COLDS
At this time of year there are a lot of children that are suffering from coughs and colds and other illnesses. It is important for their health and welfare and that of the other children and staff that poorly children are not brought into school when they should be resting and recuperating. As part of School policy, if a child develops symptoms over the course of the day, parents will be contacted about this and arrangements made.
It is also most important to help the flow of correct information if all contact regarding the children is made through the school office or the headteacher; and that up-to-date-contact details are held at school.
CHRISTMAS DINNER
Advance booking requests for school’s Christmas dinner (Wednesday, 19th December) will be sent home on Monday. Please can we have replies by next FRIDAY, as numbers have to be sent on to allow for sufficient catering! Dinner costs £1.76 per child and will consist of a traditional turkey roast with all the trimmings—a vegetarian option will be available. Payment is due on Monday, 17th December please.
