Summer term
Message from the Team…..….Welcome Back to a jam packed term!
We hope you all had a lovely Easter break, we were so lucky with the weather!
We would like to thank all you wonderful amazing families for supporting our Easter Bonnet Parade. Well done to our winners: 1st Manveer, 2nd Joe and in 3rd Georgia-Rose.
Glad to say that the Forest School has started again this week for 5 weeks for selected children on a Wednesday afternoon.
Don’t forget Little Monkeys Photographers are in on Wednesday 1st May, can ALL children leaving for school please get their photo taken. You are welcome to bring siblings for photographs from 8.30am.
This short term aims to be jam packed with lots of growth related excitement. You may have already seen that we have a large collection of tadpoles, the children will be learning about lifecycles and how they will change. We shall be growing cress in the coming weeks too. Very exciting for us, we have an egg hatching experience arriving on 13th May. We will have the opportunity to observe the eggs and hopefully see them hatch, it is then our job to care for the chicks until they are collected at the end of this term.
The time has come to plan our summer fete and leavers graduation ceremony. Last year we had an amazing response and need as much help as possible to organise a successful event. Thursday 2nd May at 7.30 is our first fundraising meeting. It will be held at the Trumpet Pub, we would love to see as many volunteers as possible.
Lastly, as you may have noticed our outdoor space is looking rather unkempt, we have begun weeding around the front gate but as you can imagine we just don’t have the time to do a full job when our priority is your children. Saturday 11th May at 10am we are asking for as many volunteers as possible to help us out with weeding, planting and cutting the grass.
