Updates from Mrs Norden

This week has brought much sadness to our community and I thank you for your support over the last few days. We know that several of our children are finding coping with the loss of their friend emotionally difficult and so, further to my email on Monday, we have updated the resources on our website linked to loss and grief, which can be found here.

December is fast approaching and there are various events for our children and families.  Please see our useful December overview below, a copy of which can also be accessed here.

A winter chill has most definitely been brought by the changes in the weather, so please help your children to remember their coats, hats, scarves and gloves to keep them warm.  They enjoy playing outside but some of them find it cold due to a lack of warm clothing.
