Our First School Trip

Mrs Reynolds and Miss Common have been to visit the site of our first school trip for the 2017-2018 School Year, we have been busy creating exciting learning experiences for our new Year One children and we are really looking forward to welcoming you all on Wednesday 6th September.

Our first IPC (international primary curriculum topic) will be Flowers and Insects. On Friday will be designing our own miniature gardens, so feel free to start collecting little objects that you could use for your own mini garden!

We are always looking to develop our outdoor area, so if you have any off-cuts of piping or clips to help with our new water wall, or any old baking tins or pans for our mud kitchen we would really appreciate any donations 🙂

Have a look through these lovely photos to see what flowers and insects you can spot!

We hope you have a lovely last few days of the school holiday.
