What a wonderful bunch of intrepid explorers we have had out on the playground! Alongside navigating the changeable weather, they have explored new games, created adventures and grown the bonds of friendship. Every small gesture, from a kind smile to an invite to join a game, the children have shown such generosity with their love and kindness.
It never ceases to amaze the lunchtime staff as to the endless imaginative play that the children so whole heartedly through themselves into their games. Lunchtimes, are truly a time where the children can just be.

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.
