Board games for wet lunch times

Over time our supply of wet day board games gets depleted. If you have any board games at home you don't use any more and you think they would be suitable for wet day lunch times, send them along to us. We would be very appreciative.

Camera Tripods


Calling all dusty, no longer used camera tripods stuck in the back of cupboards! How about getting a new lease of life by marching your way into the Year 5/6 Syndicate. We are looking for some tripods to use with our i pads. We have the i pad stands to go on top which attach by screwing on to the tripods in the same way cameras do. If you have any that you could donate to us we would be very grateful. Just send them along to your child's classroom teacher.
