Hello, and welcome to Spring term 2!

It has been a busy few weeks, so lets get you up to speed!

At the start of the term we had glorious weather so children spent their time exploring our new outdoor area: a builders shed, a maths shed and literacy shed. We also had a new mud kitchen delivered, along with some table and chairs. The children enjoyed their time outside!

Ash Wednesday – On Wednesday the 6th we had a visit from Miss Keogh from the Chapel in Oaklands. She explained to the children what Lent was about and the reason why, on Ash Wednesday, Catholics have an ash cross drawn on their foreheads. Every child and adult in Early Years received one!

Early Years also had a very special visitor on Thursday who bought us some bugs to look at and hold, to gather more information for our Minibeasts topic! Thank you Mrs Lipscomb, the children loved it! We were visited by 2 stick insects, an African land snail and a millipede!

The parents also dropped in for a games afternoon. Parents or grown ups from each family had the opportunity to bring the child’s favourite game and play it in school! The most popular game by far was on called ‘Don’t step in the poo!’. There were many squeals of delight as the children narrowly missed the playdough poop!

What a busy few weeks in Early Years – thank you for all that have visited us and supported us in the last few weeks.
