Dear Parents/Carers
We started the week with an interesting and enjoyable day on Tuesday, when Kay Caldrick, our Area Health Adviser, held some workshops with the children about keeping themselves safe around harmful substances and chemicals.
The Owl and the Pussycat
A number of the children took part in this performance with other Taunton schools on Tuesday evening and the production was a great success. We will be holding our own performance of this on Friday 14th July, at Appley Pavilion ? start time to be advised in due course!
