FEBRUARY 2010 NEWSLETTER
TERM DATES REMINDER JIHIHJJHHHHK As you are hopefully aware, next week is half term. We start back at school on Monday 22nd February.
The last day of the Spring Term is Thursday 1st April. The Easter Holiday starts Friday 2nd April with the children returning to school on Tuesday 20th April (Monday 19th is a staff only day). Please be aware that there are 2 staff only days in the middle of the Summer Term (as with all primary schools in the Debenham Pyramid) which are: Monday 21st June & Tuesday 22nd June
Thank you also for your efforts in trying to get your children to school on time, it is greatly appreciated. I’ve not known weather like this for a long time and hopefully when we return it will be more spring like.
