ISSUE 70 -  7th February 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

Spud-tacular!

We have loved seeing how creative our children have been creating their favourite book characters from a simple potato.  It was extremely difficult to judge but well done to our winners, who each received a book voucher to spend at the book fair.

 

Book Fair

The book fair has arrived and will be open after school 3:30pm to 4:30pm on Monday and Tuesday, and from 3:30pm til 6pm during Learning Reviews.

 

Learning Reviews

Spring Learning Reviews take place on Wednesday 12th February and Thursday 13th February.  Appointment times will be sent home with your children on Monday 10th February.  All the appointments will take place in the Sycamore building.

 

Have a good weekend.

Best Wishes, Miss Loughlin and all the staff at St Stephen's.
