• ECO Team!

  Fri 25 Apr 2025

  As part of Earth Day at the start of the week, the Eco-Team children met with Miss Brown to discuss ideas and actions for summer. They have decided they would like to transform the new large planter by the office into a vegetable patch! On Friday 23rd May, we will have a non-uniform day to help raise money for new gardening equipment, seeds, bulbs and future projects.       

  

• Easter Boxes

  Fri 04 Apr 2025

  To celebrate Spring, the children were asked to to decorate an egg box (or a lid) and fill it with goodies such as chocolate and sweets, totalling £1.

   

  Everyone was then invited to bring in £1 on Friday to buy a box and take home as their own.

   

  This is such a brilliant fundraiser and every year is a huge success! Thank you to everyone for their support.

• Y1 Robot Day

  Thu 29 Feb 2024
