Thank you to everybody who has volunteered as part of our PTA. It has been fantastic to see so many parents and family members getting involved with the Bake Sale and the Spring Fayre this week. We hope that this is the start of many exciting future events.
Year 1 took part in an amazing show and workshop this week with an educator from The Postal Museum. They had such a good time writing their own postcards and learning about The Jolly Postman book. All the teaching staff were lucky to have a staff meeting based on this too and learned about how to use picture books to make learning exciting across the whole curriculum. We are looking forward to putting this into action across the school soon.
As you know, next week is the last week of term before the Easter holiday; we break up on Friday 4th April at 1:00pm. The gates will be open at 12:55pm. All children must be collected at this time; there is no after school provision on that day.
Have a great weekend.
Jo and Rachel
To all our families who will be celebrating Eid this weekend or on Monday, we wish you a joyful and peaceful time with your loved ones. May this special occasion bring happiness, good health, and togetherness.
Eid Mubarak from all of us at Morningside!

The playground is very busy at the start and the end of the day. Please do not ride, or allow your children to ride, bikes and scooters in the playground at these time. This is to help keep everyone safe and prevent accidents during these busy periods.
