We will be collecting bottles for another bottle tombola for Comic Relief on March the 19th. We would appreciate your support and donations. More information will follow as to how we will be involving the children in Comic Relief.

As usual the weekly blog represents a snapshot of what most of the children participate in during the week. Please speak to your child's key person if you would like to have further information about your child's interests and progress. You are welcome to ask your key person for feedback at any time and book a time to have a meeting for feedback on how your child is progressing.

We hope you have a sunny weekend and we look forward to seeing you next week.
Hoping you all have a lovely weekend.
Best wishes, Julia, Grace, Sharon, Lisa, Hannah, Jackie and Amy
