Camp helpers' reflections
Many thanks again to our fabulous camp helpers. Your assistance on camp was invaluable. If you have completed the reflection sent home with your poppet, it would be great to have that returned to Tracy at school. Thank you to the four parents who have already returned theirs. It is really helpful to have different perspectives on how the camp went.
Waltham Pool trip
We now have enough support for our trip to Waltham pool in the last week of school. Thank you so much to the volunteers!
Lost property from camp
We would love to reunite this property with owners!! Numerous socks, a single, blue, fitted sheet and a sleeping bag cover.
