Successful Learners
The children have thoroughly enjoyed participating in all activities linked to our new book club. The book of the month was Paddington Bear and the children enjoyed participating in a wide range from painting, modelling, tasting and discussions. Anyone wishing to borrow the book are welcome to take it home for a couple days. Please see a staff member.
Responsible Citizens
The children are still very much enjoying looking after and caring for their sunflowers that are planted in the back garden. The sunflowers appreciate all their hard work and have blossomed; they have grown so tall they are well above the garden fence. Well done all!
Effective Contributors
Well done and a big thank you to all parents and children who attended our recent open day. It was a fantastic day with lots of fun activities.
