Lost Property
This box is now situated outside Room 4. The box is overflowing with lost property. Children are encouraged to look through the box, but most of the time, they don't even realise that they have lost anything! If you are picking up your child from school and have a spare minute, wander over and take a look. You might find a lost item or three in the pile!
