Dear Parents, Carers and

Friends

World Book Day Thursday 5th March

Thanks to all who made the Stories in a

Box. They were absolutely fantastic!

One mum wrote in and said that the

family had really enjoyed doing the

project together. We will be posting

some of the photos on the website and

the Facebook page.

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE The best advice given is to wash hands

frequently and bin tissues after use.

We are receiving daily bulletins from

Dudley MBC and the Government about

the implications for schools.

Head Lice

To minimise transmission of head lice,

please tie long hair up.

Forest School

Please could you send the children with

gloves and plenty of layers when they

are attending Forest School. They also

need leggings and warm trousers,

scarves, hats and extra socks due to

the poor weather we are having

currently. Thank you.
