Dear Parents and Carers,

We have had another busy week here in school. Oh no we haven’t…..oh yes we have!!

Our whole school trip to the pantomime yesterday was fabulous. The children represented our school in the most wonderful way. The staff at the Carriageworks Theatre commented on how polite and respectful they all were. We are so very proud of each and every one of them.

On Wednesday we welcomed some special visitors into school. The children were able to meet some birds of prey up close. They watched them take flight as well as learning fascinating facts about them.

We have had several highlights this week which we must give thanks to the Friends of Kirk Fenton for supporting. We are very grateful for all the hard work that they put into raising money for our school and providing funding towards these fabulous opportunities.

Best wishes to you all for the weekend,

Emma Bembridge
