This Week's News

Friday 28th November 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

We had a wonderful end to the week when the Pied Piper theatre company came to put on an amazing production called ‘Zoom’. The children loved the story of a little girl called Molly who helped a lost alien back to his planet. As always, we were so impressed with the quality of the acting and set design. It was lovely to have the whole school together and the children were so well behaved.

Earlier in the week Ladybird class had an amazing time at forest school. They were incredibly lucky with the weather and had great fun engaging in outdoor arts and crafts and exploring the environment.

With the start of December imminent, The School Council will be decorating our Christmas on Monday afternoon. We will enjoy listening to Christmas songs and getting into the festive spirit.

We look forward to seeing the children’s reactions when they come to school on Monday as we have a surprise in store. The staff are going to be very busy after school this afternoon preparing for Christmas.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Tanya Mooney
