Forest Schools

Forest Schools is now up and running.  It now forms an integral part of our curriculum and all classes will benefit from the experience over this school year. The base for our Forest School is at the top of the path just below the village hall, and our school garden.  For reasons of safety it is important that you do not let your children enter this area.

 

Open Evening 17 October

On Thursday 17 October we are holding an open evening for anyone considering bringing their children to us from next year.  The open evening will take place from 5pm to 7pm for you to visit and have a look around, and myself and Early Years staff will be on hand to discuss anything or answer any questions.

 

Dressing up Clothes

If anyone has any dressing up clothes that your children have grown out of or no longer use we would be grateful to receive any of these to replenish our stocks in some of the classrooms.  Thank you very much.

 

 

Regards,

Mr J Gordon
