Dear Parents and Carers
On Friday 28 August we celebrate the 5 Birthday of the Blessing and Official Opening of St Clare’s School.
To acknowledge such an occasion, Friday is a gentler day and no official learning will be posted on See Saw.
Below is a range of suggested activities that can be completed as part of our Birthday or Family Fun Friday and it’s up to you as a family to choose some of these or make up some of your own – depending on your circumstances.
We will be making a pictorial history of our first five years and invite children and families to send an acknowledgement or picture or memory or story of their time at St Clare’s. These may be included in our publication.

EARLY PICK FROM SCHOOL - For those students who are being supervised at school, should they need to be collected early we ask that parents ring the school once they have arrived at school to collect the child. We will then arrange to bring the child out to you in the "kiss and drop zone". We ask you to also bare in mind that from 1.30pm to 2.10pm the students are outside. While we can call for them over the PA System, the students do not always hear it while they are playing.
