This school year has now come to an end and what a year it has been! Today we said goodbye to the year 6's as the move towards their new adventures, the rest of the school transitioned into our new classrooms and new reception children were welcomed into Dashwood - its been a busy few days for kids, staff and families.
Enjoy the holidays and some time with your loved ones, see you all in September! Our first meeting will be Friday 11th September at 9am, we would love to see you!

On Friday we held the special man in your life market! It was a hot day but the amazing members of PTFA pulled off another great event! Have a look at some of the photos showcasing the lovely gifts we had to offer!

The kids loved picking their gift for that special someone and putting so much thought into what they picked. We hope you have a great day and have a special time with your loved ones.

Thanks for every member of PTFA who prepared for the event, setting up and on the day! As always the organisation of sign up, class lists and labelling long past their hours needs to recognised, thanks to the amazing reception team!

Thank you for supporting the PTFA on this event, any profit goes back into making your child's schooling experiences as enriched as possible! If you would like to help out at any event or behind the scenes please catch any of us or come along to our final meeting of the year - Friday 3rd July at 9am

We held our 'Special lady in my life' market on Friday, the kids who had signed up carefully choose a gift for their loved ones. There excitement was contagious, I'm sure they will all love gifting them to their special person!

Massive shout out to PTFA members who gave up some or all of their day to run the event, helped set up the event or do the purchasing. Not everyone is pictured but lots of help made this event a huge success, thank you all!! We would also like to acknowledge Kelly in reception, the work that you put into sending emails, making lists and stickers is very much appreciated! (Photos uploaded with permission)

Enjoy your special day, we hope it is filled with laughter and love!

Reminder - tomorrow is world book day, lots of lovely treats for sale after school including the sale of these fabulous bookmarks!

Come and see the lovely offerings available and support us! Hope to see some of you there!

We have had a very talented parent in our school who has made these beautiful bookmarks. They have generously gifted to PTFA for a bookmark sale... and world book day seemed the most fitting.

Please come along and support the sale. The bookmarks are not only beautiful but would make a great treat for yourself, help your child keep their place in their books or be a thoughtful gift for someone.

Supporting the PTFA raises funds that go back into the making experiences for our children. If you have any ideas for raising funds or experiences for the children please speak to the office or anyone in PTFA, or come along to a future meeting.

THANK YOU so much to our amazing parent who made these. Looking forward to the sale already!
