CODING CLUB From the 27th September, one of our parents (Jasper's mum in Year 2) has kindly offered to run a Computing Coding Club on Wednesday mornings between 8am and 8.50am at School. The club is linked with Code Club (a nationally organised scheme) and will give the children lots of fun opportunities to learn how to write their own computing code. If you would like to look at the website it is: https://www.codeclub.org.uk. The Club will run from the 27th September to the 12th December and will be available to the first 12 children in Years 4 to 6 that sign up. If it is popular, then we may look to run further sessions in January. If you would like your child to take part please contact the Office. Miss Deasey

Last year we were the proud owners of 5 giant African land snails. We now have another 70 tiny snails! We are anxious to find them new homes. They are very easy to look after and live very happily in a small fish tank/ terrarium with coco compost in the bottom. They are quite picky eaters but their favourite foods are cucumber, lettuce, kale and they sometimes enjoy the odd dandelion leaf! They are very easy to look after and quite fascinating to watch. Please let the office know if you would like to have some (2 or 3 probably the optimum number).
