Opposite is an indication of which batteries can be recycled. A battery collection container has been placed near the school office and any spent batteries you may have can now be sent into school. Extra-Curricular School Clubs Please note that if, for any reason - mainly bad weather - an after school club has to be cancelled at short notice, we will notify the parents of those children taking part by text. It is therefore vital that you keep the school office up to date with any change of mobile phone number. ?Mini Pots of Care? School is taking part in the Marie Curie Cancer Care initiative ?Mini Pots of Care?. This involves the children planting and caring for a bulb. The bulbs and pots are provided by the Charity and children will be shown how to plant their bulbs in school. Donation envelopes will be given to the children and we ask that these are returned to school by Friday, 9 November. Children will take their bulbs home and keep them outside until February when they will be asked to return them to school. Children who have successfully cared for their bulb will have the opportunity to take part in a competition. Broad Oak Care Club ? Holiday Care Club Arrangements Please note that a few places are still available for our holiday club. Please see Mrs Naylor in the school office (afternoons) for details. The holiday club runs from 9.00 to 4.00pm (Morning Session: 9.00 ? 12.30 and Afternoon Session: 12.30 to 4.00pm) and a request for a place is made for both sessions at the same time.
