There is a copy of the menus on the school portal. Next week we are on Week 2.

Up-to-date Mobile Numbers
We are continuing to use our text messaging service and in some cases, instead of sending letters out. Therefore it is extremely important that you ensure you keep school up-to-date with any change in mobile phone numbers.
If you have not received any texts from school, please inform school to check that we have the right mobile numbers.

Reception Storysac Library
Storysac sessions are still running every Tuesday 2.30pm. Parents can choose a storysac with their child and then go down to the classroom to share the storysac together. They can then take the storysac home and return it on Friday morning to be checked and ready for the next session the following Tuesday.

Castleton Children’s Centre
The free ‘Stay and Play Sessions’ are here at St. Edward’s on Wednesday mornings 9.30am-10.30am. Please come and join us – you will be made very welcome.
