International Fair
Our parents are working very hard to plan, prepare and deliver what will be a wonderful family event. Come along at 3:30 on Friday 8th July with children, mums, dads and grandparents to learn about other countries, cultures and customs. Bring your 50p’s to buy tasty snacks and fun mementoes.
Beer Tasting
A Beer Tasting event has been organised by the ‘Friends of New Islington’ to bring our parents and friends (over 18s only!) together for a fun and informative evening. You will have different beers to taste, with information about each one, plus a local brewer will be here to explain the journey of the hops and wheat in the field to the bottle. Arrive at 6:45 for a 7pm start. Tickets £15 bought in advance on the School gateway.
Summer Reading challenge
Manchester Libraries have provided every child with excellent resources to get them reading this summer! Please look out for free the reading cards and resources that your children will be bringing home.
