Attention: Year 3/4 Families

A message for ALL YEAR 3/4 FAMILIES. For a percussion project we are doing this term I need all year 3/4 students to bring a PLASTIC CUP to school to use for the term. Hopefully everyone has one already floating around in their cupboard. If you have any spares that you want to get rid of please drop them off at the office or the Performing Arts room. Please remember also to put your child's name on the cup. Tag as many people as you can. Thanks for your help

We thank Karen for her wonderful work in supporting our students throughout her time at Hamlyn Banks, and our thoughts and best wishes are with her family and friends during this difficult time.

If your child is upset or distressed by this news, please contact the school for further support.

Sincerely
