New Year Wishes – by the Office Staff
We wish for lots of chocolate, any make will do,
And not forgetting shortbread, to add a crunch or two.
We hope the spring will soon be here and with it lots of sun,
With all these long dark days we need to have some fun.
We wish for nice long holidays, so we can relax and chill
And enjoy a summer of fresh air, with walks up Pontesbury Hill.
We hope our lovely children, will learn to thrive and grow,
And all their creative ideas will continue to blossom and flow.
We wish that across the planet, hostilities will cease
So finally we get our wish for a world full of peace.
The book fair will be open to children and parents each day at 3.15pm-3.45pm from Thursday 25 to Wednesday 31 January. Children will also be given the opportunity to browse the fair during the school day.
We appreciate your support in buying books, which in turn enables us to get free books for school too!
