What a wonderful bunch of intrepid explorers we have had out on the playground!

Memories have certainly been made this week outside on the playground, as they are every week. The children have formed such strong friendships that I am sure many will go on to last a lifetime. The laughter that rings out, the smiling faces and rosy cheeks is testament to how much fun they have as they return to their classes.
We end this week with a touch of sadness, as a highly valued member of the lunchtime team leaves to follow pastures new. Thank you so much Mrs Moore, for all your hard work over the years.
