Dear Parent/Carer,
Tomorrow is World thinking day, this happens every year on 22nd February and is a global event where children are encouraged to celebrate friendship.
It is a chance for Girl Guides, Brownies, Cubs and Scouts across the world to think about each other.
If your child takes part in any of the above, we would love them to celebrate the school day in their official uniform.
Please note: If it is your child’s P.E day, please bring in their P.E kit for them to change into.
Best wishes
