In return for being allowed to come to school in clothes of their choice on Friday 14th June, children need to bring in either a cuddly toy (this must be clean and smell fresh) or a new, unopened bottle of something (such as wine, squash, lemonade, bubble bath, moisturiser) which will be used for our school summer fair. Children should bring their cuddly toy or bottle into school on the Friday morning. Thank you.
