World Book Day! - Thursday 5th March

Our Forest School is gearing up for lots of muddy, splashy, outdoor funand we'd love your help! Our wonderful Mrs Lanwarne, who is currently training for her Forest School qualifications, has asked if anyone has any outgrown wellies, waterproofs, or woolly hats that could be donated. If you have any of these items hiding in cupboards at home, we'd be thrilled to give them a second life. As the weather keeps us guessing, these extra bits help make sure every child can jump in puddles, explore the woods, and enjoy all the magic of outdoor learningwithout getting soggy! If you're able to donate, please drop items off at the school office whenever it suits you. Every contribution helps keep our little adventurers warm, dry, and ready for whatever the great outdoors throws at us. Thank you for supporting Mrs Lanwarne and all the Forest School fun!

Welcome back!
