KEEPING ACTIVE
During these times when we are required to stay at home, it is so important that we remain active.

GET CREATIVE!
If you haven’t already completed your art work incorporating the infamous red despatch boxes, there’s still time as we will not be reviewing these until we are back in school.
Therefore, get your creative thinking caps on and start designing your picture.
Entries can be posted in to school.

WATCHING THE FLOWERS GROW
Back in October of last year, the children took part in the Little Daffodils initiative, which was supported by one our local businesses, Chapman’s Nurseries. It was a nationwide campaign to get children planting bulbs and learn more about nature as the daffodils grew.
Hopefully, you will now have some beautiful vibrant daffodils which are in full bloom. This is how the daffodils are blossoming in the school grounds – it certainly brightens your day.
