Children in Need Once again we are having a sleepover with Y5 and Y6 pupils to raise money for Children in Need. Pupils should arrive at school from 7.00pm at the Nursery Gate. We are also asking pupils to accesssorise their uniform tomorrow with spots—hairbands, bandanas, socks etc. (it is not a dressing up day). To mark the occasion we will also be collecting money at the school gates.
Remembrance Sunday As mentioned in last weeks letter a group of our year 6 children attended a Remembrance Day service on Sunday and laid a wreath on the memorial at Leyton Orient football ground. The children behaved impeccably and did Glade proud, Thank you.
