Well done Reception and Year 3!
Lunchtime Waste
A reminder that if a child brings a packed lunch to school, then the expectation is that all the rubbish from that lunchbox is taken home. There are a couple of reasons for that: it lets you, as parents and carers, know what has been eaten for lunch; and it helps us as school to reduce the amount of waste, and therefore the number of rubbish bins we have to pay for. Thank you for your understanding.
