BOOK WEEK 29 FEBRUARY - 4 MARCH
We have enjoyed a week of book-related activities, including
class visits to Wickford Library. The highlight of the week was
the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party which was held this afternoon.
MAD HATTER’S TEA PARTY
This afternoon the children were invited by the Mad Hatter to a
tea party, and what an extravaganza it was! The children
shared performances that were related to books and on their
journey through Wonderland enjoyed cake and biscuits with
Alice herself. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and
looked magnificent in their costumes.

Well done!
The following advice is taken
from The Police Safety
website. Please pass it on to
your children:
The internet can be fun but
sometimes you find things that
make you sad or scared. Tell
your mum, dad or the person
who looks after you at home if
something makes you feel sad
or funny inside.
You can also talk to your
teachers if anything upsets you
and they will help.
