The
children return to school on Monday, 1st November after half-term.
There are several extra events taking place this month which create lots of
anticipation and excitement amongst the children.
On
Friday, 5th November, the Friends of St Mary’s School (FOSMS) will hold the
annual Bonfire and Fireworks display on the school field. The barbeque will be
served from 5:30 pm and the bonfire will be lit at 6 o’clock. If you have any
wood to burn, please bring this on Friday morning and place it near the bonfire
site. Everyone is welcome but please do not bring fireworks or sparklers.
The

Saturday 13th November. Then, two Year 6 pupils will be representing
all the young people in the parish of Mellor when they lay a wreath at the War
Memorial on Remembrance Sunday.
The annual Toy Sale will take place on Thursday, 18th

unwanted toys or games or children’s books, please bring them to school from
Monday, 15th November. On Friday, 19th November, we shall

extra events for the children to enjoy in November!
