Summer Letter
Dear Parents and Carers,
We have had such a busy start to the summer term. Along with our academic learning, we have been supporting children to develop wellbeing. Over the last year, many people have suffered from the effects of lockdown and our children are no exception. In order to support them we have been exploring wellbeing, the impact of being active and enjoying the benefits of being outdoors in nature and in play. We are also going to be putting together a section on the website with resources signpost support.
We are continuing to develop our school grounds for this and would very much like to thank Mr Chris Thompson, who is giving his time and resources freely to help us develop the wilderness area to support both play and outdoor learning, and Mr Richard Wade for the use of his digger.
