Dear Parents and Carers,

A polite reminder that this Friday is our potions day, where your child can dress up as a scientist/ bring in a prop. Please ensure your child has brought in an empty glass jar for the afternoons activities.  Thank you for your generous donations so far, any further contributions of vegetable/sunflower oil and glass jars would be greatly appreciated.
