Due to the continued amber weather warning for this week, children and staff are encouraged to wear non-uniform for the rest of the week (Weds, Thurs and Fri). As has already been the case, no open-toed shoes should be worn. Please make sure your child has a water bottle in school and we can then ensure your child regularly refills it. Please see your email from the school for more information.

Learning through play! 🧠✨ Last week our nursery children combined physical development with health and self-care. They used their understanding of sun safety to stay hydrated, practicing their fine motor skills by pouring their own water. Great job, everyone! 💦👏
