Come and join us this morning 9-10am for a coffee and a pastry. Mrs Lyon will be explaining about our new Thrive Approach to Wellbeing and how it can benefit your child/ren at home and at school
To all of our amazing Teaching Assistants, you are worth your weight in gold. Caring, nurturing, supportive, knowledgeable, determined, passionate. Our children are lucky to have you! Thank you!
Today we had our very first forest school session with @Littlefoothq. We built some tripods and dens, practised starting fires, tied a clove hitch knot and survived in a survival tent. Everyone had a great time!! #RPEnrichment
