Dear Parents and Carers,

What an amazing day we have had at school for Crazy Hair Day in support of Comic Relief! Students and staff alike went all out, showcasing their wildest, wackiest, and most wonderful hairstyles! From neon-coloured mohawks to funky pigtails and even hair shaped like animals, our school was a sea of colour and glitter!

It was fantastic to see everyone getting involved to support Comic Relief's important work. A huge thank you to all who participated and donated – you’ve truly helped make a difference!

We hope the day brought lots of smiles and laughter, and we can’t wait for next year’s Red Nose Day.

Have a fun filled weekend!

Take care,

Mrs Winter

Headteacher

A huge 'Thank You' to Jody and Lucy Murphy for sponsoring our new football kits! The children look absolutely fantastic and can now proudly represent Carleton Park. We really appreciate your support.

Carleton Park are celebrating Science week! We would like to invite parents into class to help design and make an engineering project. Please find details of the dates for each class below, in Key Dates.

Parents can bring along any recyclable materials, which can be used to build our structures. We hope to see as many of you as possible.

1 parent per child is invited into school from 2pm to design and make a bridge with your child for Science Week on the following days:

Today we raised money for Comic Relief by holding a non-uniform day with a crazy hair theme. The only rules are that any colour must be out of hair by Monday 24th for school.

Please note, some temporary colours still may stain light coloured hair after washing out.

There will be no cash donations, all payments are to be paid via our JustGiving link which goes straight to the charity here:

Children in Year 1 to Year 6 are invited to design and make an Easter card which they can then bring home to send out for Easter. There are some ideas below.

Parents are encouraged to help but please make sure the entry is your child's own work as they will be judged in age categories. The winner in each class will win an Easter Egg or Treat!

Please bring your fabulous creations into school by Wednesday 2nd April.

We look forward to seeing them all.
