Toys at School Over the last couple of weeks we have noticed more children bringing toys to school. As a result we been

experiencing problems in the play-ground and in classes between chil-dren trading toys, playing with toys that aren't theirs and missing toys. From Monday August 20 we would like to encourage the children to keep their toys at home. If they have an item that they wish to bring to school on their 'news day' then these need to be kept in school bags after 'news'. Thank you.
