Dear Parents and Carers, 

In the week after half-term, children in Class 3 will be completing a DT project learning about pneumatics.

Each child will need an empty 2litre or 1.5litre plastic bottle (the kind you get cola or lemonade in) to complete their project. Please could children bring their bottles to school after half-term. Should you happen to have a couple of spare empty bottles which you are able to donate, please pop these in as well, so we can make sure everyone is able to complete their projects.

Thank you!

Mrs Nott.
