Not cats in hats, which is what Mr Britton heard.

This Friday, we are holding a ‘Hats for Haiti’ Day – we are hoping that the children and staff will come to school in a hat or wig and pay 50p for the pleasure. The sillier the hat the better, the money raised will be divided between the Haiti Disaster and the UNICEF ‘Day of Action’ Appeals. This is not a non-uniform day!

We are delighted to announce that the Year 6 Netball Team was finally ranked second in the South and West Dorset Junior Netball League. This week, the organiser of the league (Mrs June Reed) came to present the children with the Runners-Up Shield and took their photograph to put in the Dorset Echo. This is huge achievement for all those who took part in the league and played their best in numerous matches against other local schools. Well done to you all.

Around 400 people of all ages got into the festive spirit by dressing up as Father Christmas, a Christmas tree, reindeer and a present for yesterday’s race.
