PANTO

It was lovely to see all our children enjoy the

panto again this year at the Palace Theatre

but we have decided to make this trip a

bi-annual event rather than yearly. As you

can imagine it takes a lot or organising and a

lot of chasing of money to enable it to

happen and for it to run smoothly.

Oh yes it does!

CHRISTMAS FAIR

Friends of Heronswood would like to thank

you for your support at this event which

raised a fantastic £800. It has been agreed

that some of that money will be spent on

books for our Key Stage 2 children to enjoy.

SPONSORED SILENCE

Just before Christmas the Year 5 and Y6

children took part in a sponsored silence.

The children raised over £650 for The British

Red Cross, thank you so much for

everyone's support.
