Dear Parents/Carers,
Thank you very much for supporting our Odd Socks Day on Monday for Anti-bullying, and Children in Need today. The whole school enjoyed watching the Pupil Leadership Team’s assembly presentation in which they explored different types of bullying and how children can stand up for and look after each other. For Children in Need we had some amazing crazy hairstyles and yet again we are grateful for your generous support for this charity. So far, a wonderful £365.77 has been raised.

Lost Property
Please see the lost property page of the web site if your child has mislaid something: https://www.lakesideprimaryschool.co.uk/lost-property-eiddo-coll/ It would help us greatly if children’s property was labelled with their name, especially school uniform, so that we can reunite owners with their clothing or other items. Many thanks.
