Today is a cause for much celebration at Little Star, apart from being payday that is.

It's Barbara's stork party! Barbara is our cook and cleaner. 

Thanks everyone for the gifts.

Today is also Marcia's birthday! Marcia is the newest addition to the staff: she's our Grade R assistant.

Oooh, there's going to be much cake, methinks. Can't wait.

There's an important Parent - Teacher Meeting on Saturday 03 August at 08:30 for only an hour.

Now, I think I can hear some of you groan. But you know what? It is the children of those parents who come to these meetings who almost invariably do better than the children of parents who don't come.

Get into he habit of coming to meet your child's teachers - you've got at least twelve more years of meetings like these ahead of you, at more than one a year. It is probably one of the best things you can do for your child's education.

I look forward to meeting you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATRICIA!

Patricia is the assistant in the nursery and is also one of the longest-serving members of staff - if not the longest. All of us, parents and colleagues alike, wish her a lovely day, replete with much cake and the fewest nappies as possible!

Apologies for any inconvenience caused while Little Star's web site was down over the last couple of days.  It's back up now.
