Well done to the pupils who were awarded last week for displaying our school values.
Go Wild Forest School

Year 1- New Role play area
Year 1 have been enjoying their new ‘Pudding lane bakery’ role play area. They have been busy making and selling cakes, they even remembered to wash the dishes after.
‘Bling your bike’ Day winners!

The three Nursery entrants all received a small prize for their efforts – Marni, Erin and Ethan. The KS1 winners all came from Year 1 – 1st Grace, 2nd Charley and 3rd Danielle. Well done…
Nursery and Reception’s special visitors!
The children were very lucky to be visited by these 2 beautiful ducks yesterday. We gave the ducks some food and watched them waddling around the field. We hope they come back to visit again soon!
