  • Guinea Pig Tea Party Friday 26th April

    Published 16/04/24, by Sarah Mellor

    Hello all

    You are invited to come to school at 3pm on Friday 26th April to celebrate the arrival of Bessie and Belle our new guinea pigs. The children came up with the idea of having a tea party to raise a little bit of money for their upkeep and for the rescue centre that very kindly donated the guinea pigs to us (Avalon Guinea Pig Rescue (avalongpr.co.uk).

    Please see the attached flyer for details. We hope that you can make and don't forget to bring some coins!

    We look forward to seeing you.

  • Christmas Carol Concert Arrangements

    Published 04/12/23, by Sarah Mellor

    Hello Puffin parents!

    Please find attached a letter explaining the arrangements for this year's Crossdale Christmas carol concert.  Hopefully, lots of the children will be able to make the evening performances with the adjusted timings to suit their bedtimes!

    On another note, could I please ask that children's 'Roots to Reading' books are kept in their book bags with their reading books please.  We aim to change reading books every Wednesday where we will swap their existing books with a new one.  

    Many thanks

    Sarah Mellor
