Week beginning 9th November

Week 2 already! We have had a fantastic first week back in term 2 with our Year 1 children. 

A big thank you to all the parents who volunteered on our Autumn Walk last Wednesday. The children had an amazing time and they haven't stopped talking about it since! We were able to give the children a chance to see first-hand the changes that the Autumn season brings and immerse them in our project book 'After the Storm - Percy the Park Keeper' by Nick Butterworth. 

Here are a few pictures from our autumn walk in the park ...
