44Our Christmas Family Dining event is back this year but with a few changes. This year, parents and carers can choose the day they want to attend and book their whole family on together so siblings can sit together. Head to Parent Booking to reserve your seats.
57Each day this week, we will be sharing tips with you to help you cut your carbon. Why not go meat free for a day? We would love to see what you have cooked up!

EYFS Book Club We enjoyed some more fantastic stories in book club. It is great to see our children showing a great passion for reading!
#RPReading #readingforpleasure
52As we try to cut carbon why not substitute 4 baths for 4 showers? Limiting showers to 4 minutes can help you save 44 litres of water!
50If you haven’t yet booked on for Christmas Family Dining, you have until Friday to reserve your place. Any new bookings we are asking for Weds 6th or Thurs 7th Dec Check the letter out for more details: http://robypark.mgl2023.claritycreation.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/17.11.23-Christmas-Family-Dining-2023.docx
60Why not say no to buying something new and recycle something you already have? You could even swap with a friend. Donating Christmas jumpers to school and/or helping yourself to a jumper is one way you can achieve this
