Throughout this day we intend to carry out a
number of tasks, including the sweeping of our car park and yards. We will
re-seed our pitch, clean the classroom windows, plant flowers, prepare our
window boxes, planters and hanging baskets, plant seeds and bulbs, check and
clean our recycling bins, sweep the classrooms, undertake weeding tasks, tidy
the store rooms and do a general tidy up.

It is extremely important that you furnish your
Child’s teacher with a note if your Child has an allergy to any item/substance.
This information must be disclosed in advance of our clean up to ensure the

Your efforts and co-operation are very much
appreciated. We are certainly looking forward to participating in such an
exciting event!
