We’re excited to invite you to our special Festive Stay and Play session! This joyful event will be filled with opportunities for you to join your child in a range of festive, creative learning experiences — from sparkly crafts to seasonal sensory play. We ask that only one ‘grown up’ per family comes along to these sessions to keep our environment safe, relaxed and fun. To finish, we’ll come together for a cheerful sing-along to celebrate the season. So warm up those vocal cords and get ready to sing with us as we spread some holiday cheer! Please find the dates and times for your child’s group below:

House Reward
We are excited to announce that the House winner for Term Two is the Yellow House – congratulations to all Yellow House children! House points are awarded for displaying our school values: courage, compassion, respect, responsibility, fairness and friendship. As a reward to say well done, we are going to celebrate with a Games Morning on Monday 8th December. There will be a mix of board games, party games and team games and also a chance to challenge their friends on the PlayStation or Nintendo Switch! Children should wear their normal school uniform that day but can wear a self-coloured Yellow House T- shirt instead of their shirt or polo shirt, if they would like.

Road Safety
As you know we actively encourage as many children as possible to walk or cycle to school whenever possible.  With this in mind, some local residents would appreciate considerate parking and safe driving in the streets surrounding the school and nursery please. A specific request for courteous parking on Leewood Drive connecting Nethercliffe Avenue and Netherburn Avenue to reduce any obstructions to pedestrians and emergency vehicles whilst also helping everyone to keep safe. We appreciate your support with this matter. Continue reading
