Dogs
A reminder please to request that dogs are kept on a lead if bringing them to the gates and surrounding areas at pick up and drop off times.  Please could we ask that all dogs are kept back from the school gates. This is to help keep everyone safe and also to recognise that some children and adults may be a little scared of dogs that are off the lead.  Many thanks for your help and understanding with this.

Our Netherlee Apple Tree
Over the last few weeks our children have been picking apples, making juice and crumble with some of the apples from the Netherlee apple tree.  We were so glad to be able to share our bumper crop of cooking apples with you too. We’d really love to see photos of what you made at home as these can then be used in one of our floor books. Thank you. We know that some of you have been concerned about the apple tree looking a bit sorry for itself since it blew over during summer. Please don’t worry, we’ll soon have it staked up and growing happily again soon. Continue reading
