Autumn term 2020

It has been wonderful to welcome our new Nursery children this term. They have had a super first couple of weeks and we are really proud of them.

Although we have not been at school very long, we have been extremely busy. We have really enjoyed reading The Gruffalo story, and during our Forest school adventures we went on a Gruffalo hunt.

We collected blackberries and apples from the school grounds and made Gruffalo crumble which was really yummy!

Information:

The Nursery session runs from 8.45 to 11.45.

Forest school sessions every Monday and Tuesday.
