Ash and Juniper Weekly Update – Friday 19th December 2025
Dates for your diary:
Monday 5th January - First day back to school
Wb 26th Jan – swimming week (more information to follow after Christmas)
Christmas Parties: The children had a wonderful day at their Christmas parties today. Thank you for the food that was brought in!
Pencil Cases: Some children’s stationery could do with topping up over the Christmas break. We will be sending pencil cases home next week. If you could check through with your child, that would be great. Items that are most useful:
- Writing pencils
- Colouring pencils
- Sharpener
- Mini glue stick
- Purple pen (biro)
- Small ruler (15cm is good)
Whilst we are always grateful when children bring their own stationery, it is not compulsory to provide a pencil case. We will always have some stationery for children to use if they do not have their own. Please discourage your child from trading stationery – we do not allow this in school. Thank you.
Homework: There is no homework for the Christmas break, but please do continue to enjoy reading little and often during the holiday.
What a fabulous, long and busy half term we have had! The children have worked incredibly hard and are ready for a well-deserved rest. This will be our last newsletter before the holiday. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you in the New Year on Monday 5th January 2026.
Thank you.
Mr Seldon and Mrs Loudwill
