We had a visit from ‘A Place to Wonder’ today which gave us some time to relax through story telling and yoga. It was a great experience and everyone enjoyed having some time to calm down in the middle of a busy day. We were great at doing the breathing exercises and even had another practice in the quiet room before lunch.

Planting in Forest School
Thanks to our Pollinator Grant from the LiveHereLoveHere project, we have been able to purchase some new planters, plants, trees and soil to enhance school grounds. The children have begun the planting process during the Forest School sessions and were able to talk about what the plants need to grow.

Shared Education Event - Sorting and Matching
As part of our Shared Education Partnership we were able to visit our friends from St. Bernard’s Preschool before the half-term break. We met at the Parish Centre for a Sorting and Matching Activity. The children really enjoyed it and demonstrated good early mathematical skills.
