Dear Parents,

As the weather has been dry and a bit warmer this week we have enjoyed getting outdoors more and even playing on the field. On Monday we had a visit from an old-fashioned bus. The children had great fun getting on and looking at the similarities and differences between that bus and a modern bus. They had a chance to sit in the driver’s seat, which they all enjoyed. On Thursday a McLaren sports car came to school and the children were mesmerised by the ‘butterfly’ doors and the sporty bucket seats and steering wheel. What a wonderful experience!

Please check Tapestry to see photographs.

Easter Service

On Thursday 3rd April we will be walking to Holy Trinity Church for an Easter service. If you are free and can walk with us, please contact Beccy or Hayley. We will be leaving at 9ish and returning at around 11. Thank you!
