Open Afternoon/Art Exhibition

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Today we hosted our annual Open Afternoon and invited parents and grandparents to join classes and to experience the learning taking place across the school.  Parents reported they enjoyed the opportunity to visit their child’s class and to see them in their learning environment.  The parents with more than one child at the school had a busier afternoon than most as they had several classes to visit and more than one child to keep happy! Our Art exhibition was a great success with 50% of the artwork bought already.  Parents have until the 18th May to purchase their child’s work if they wish.  Please contact the school office to arrange if wishing to make a purchase. Above are a few highlights of the afternoon.

The eco committee have been busy planning their next areas of action. They have agreed litter needs to be a focus as well as greater recycling across the school.
