Defence
Dear Defence families,
We have had a busy couple of weeks preparing for Remembrance Day and the children are very proud of what we have created. We will display our work during our upper school assembly on Friday the 8th November (Week 6). We will of course, also acknowledge the day on Monday the 11th of November.
5 weeks to go and I think all of the Defence Club kids are keen to get into some Christmas arts and crafts as well as a few dance offs and very competitive games of UNO!!
Please reach out at any time if I can be of any assistance with your children as we head towards the end of the school year.
Warm regards,
Kat Jordan DSM.The Amazing Race – Friday 8 November
