Dear Parents/Carers,

 *Harvest Festival*

You are warmly invited to attend our Harvest Festival which will be held at St. John’s Church on the village green in Havering-ate-Bower on:

Thursday, 24th October 2013

Please bring your children (and any Harvest gifts!) to the church for a 9.00 am start, as we will begin our day with the Harvest Service. The children will then be walked back to school by the staff to start their school day. The older children will then distribute your gifts to senior residents in the village later in the day.

Since the building of the covered way, we are able to admit the children who wish to skip from 8.30 am. However, some children are arriving well before 8.30 and are being left alone at the front of the school. Please could you ensure that there is an adult supervising your child before you leave as the road can be quite busy at that time in the morning.

Lastly, a quick reminder that next week (28th October to 1st November) is half term and the children get an extra day off on the Monday following (4th November) as it is a staff training day, so the children will return to school on Tuesday 5th November.

Many thanks,

V. Morris
