Dear Parent/Carer
Book Fair
Just to let you know that our annual book fair will operate during week beginning Monday March 3rd to Thursday March 6th. Books will be on sale in the main hall from 3.00 – 3.30 on these days. The children will each receive a £1 token to celebrate World Book Day (6th March) which can be redeemed at the book fair.
