Uniform Orders Can we please remind parents to purchase any school uniform as soon as possible. We currently have a large stock in school however, there is a 4 week waiting period at this time of the year should we need to order any more. Thank you. Raising Funds for China Thank you so much to those parents who have supported the sale of the vegetable tins. These have been a great success and there are now only a limited supply left. If your child would like to purchase some please send in 1 per tin next week. There are 4 different tins available: Strawberry, Cucumber, Chilli and Tomato! Due to the success of the growing tins I have been able to purchase sunflower mats. These are special mats that contain sunflower seeds. You simply lay the mat on the floor and water them, then watch the sunflowers grow! These are still available at a cost of 1 each. Also on sale are England Flags for Cars, only 1 each! Support England in the World Cup and support your school!
