• Eco Garden

  Tue 30 Oct 2018

  We have been given a grant to develop an eco-garden in school and our school council members have been invited to help with the project. Miss Bly is working with the children on the project, which will involve digging, painting and planting. We are hoping to finish the garden by Christmas or as soon as we can after (depending on the weather!)

• Safety Alert!

  Fri 19 Oct 2018

  We have been made aware of an issue in a local school this week with children putting magnetic ball bearings in their mouths to look like they have piercings. Children have accidentally swallowed the ball bearings, which in some cases, can lead to them requiring surgery. Apparently, it’s a problem nationally – for more information please go online and read the link below. Please may we ask all our parents to be very vigilant on this issue.
