Can we ask that every child attending the centre bring in a pair of wellies and a change of clothes that can be kept safely in the playroom cloakrooms. The recent wet weather has left us extremely low on trousers and socks. We appreciate your support.

Party time

Our butterflies have emerged. The children were extremely excited to arrive on Monday morning and find 7 beautiful healthy butterflies.

Release day

We were very lucky to have had the opportunity to grow and care for 7 beautiful. All 7 butterflies were strong enough to be released. We took them to the school playground where there are lots of trees, bushes and flowers.

Football fun: exploring the school’s astroturf.

The chestnut room children are so lucky to have weekly access to the football pitch within the school grounds.

Cloud watching

Some of the children relaxed on the warm turf watching the clouds go by. There was chat about how fast the clouds move and the crazy shapes you can see. “I see a shark shape” “that looks like a N”

Walking around the school

We saw the office and Mark the janitor showed us where his office is.

10 boys and girls were so lucky to be invited inside Mrs Khalid’s classroom while on a walk around the primary school.

The primary one children showed off their backpacks and water bottles. Mrs Khalid gave every child a cool monster sticker

“I want to stay here”
