What a lovely week we have had, with the children being able to join together and play.
Read more“We didn’t realize we were making memories. We just knew we were having fun.” — Winnie the Pooh
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. We have shared some wonderful times together full of laughter and fun. We hope that you are taking so me treasured memories with you. Please know that you will be missed so much, not only by the staff, but by the children too. We wish you the very best for the future.
Let’s Celebrate!
