Year 3 Enterprise, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 5th Oct 2020 @ 9:40pm
Year 3 are going to be holding their enterprise activity on Friday 16th October.
This year we will be doing things a bit differently as we can't all gather to buy our marshmallows from the quad.
We have decided to use an ordering system. Your child will bring home an order slip. If you wish to order any marshmallow kebabs please complete the slip and return with the money in a sealed envelope to your class teacher by this Friday, 9th October.
Next Friday the children will make the kebabs and put them in named bags and deliver them to your child's class ready for them to take home.
Thank you
