We've arrived at Week 5, which is of course is Junior Camp on Thursday evening and Friday.
If you have said you had a tent available, we would appreciate you bringing this to school on Thursday.
We have been busy sorting out where children will be sleeping, and a notice will be coming home tomorrow with this information. There will also be a fish and chip order form so please return this to school by Wednesday 6th March.
So you are able to sort out your Friday, these are the parent helpers for the Day session.
We please ask that you can sort out transport to each activity, as we do not have enough room on the bus for all parent helpers.
