  There has been both a Nursery and Reception session every Tuesday afternoon for the past few months and the children who attended have really enjoyed it.

• Reception Forest School Visit

  Fri 14 Jul 2023 Mr Ismail

  On Monday 10^th and 11^th July, Reception children went to the Forest School at ACS Egham.

  Children had a wonderful time participating in exciting activities, outside of the classroom, amongst the trees. Some of the highlights from the trip included learning about different types of trees, finding creepy crawlies in the woods, building dens, using flint and steel to light fire and roasting marshmallows.  It really was an adventure they will never forget!

They all showed resilience, determination and were competing for trophies. Thank you to all parent/carers who supported their children. Let's find out the winners next week...

  

• Sports Week 2023

  Thu 06 Jul 2023

  The children at Minet Infant and Nursery took action during Sports Week 2023! Our goal was to stay active for 60 minutes per day and the children made fantastic efforts. The week began with a visit from athlete Rechmial Miller who did a workshop with KS1 children. Each playtime, they took part in challenges and completed the fitness challenge at home. Well done to all children, let's keep up the fitness!

  

• Year 1 Mandir Visit

  Thu 06 Jul 2023

  Our Year 1 pupils were welcomed by the Hindu community at the Jalaram Mandir, in Greenford, as part of our RE studies. It was very interesting and informative. Thank you!

  

• National Fieldwork Visit for Our Year 1 Pupils

  Thu 29 Jun 2023

  The children in Year 1 walked to Minet Country Park to investigate park usage. We all went at different times of the day and found that the park is the busiest between 11 and 12pm. We found that people like the open space and is good for dog walkers (who still visit, no matter what the weather!) People think that there are not enough bins and feel that the grass is not cut regularly. Park users also want to see water in the lake!

  It was a lovely visit and children even got to have a go using the play equipment!

  

• Beep Beep Day

  Fri 23 Jun 2023

  On Thursday 22nd June 2023, all of our Key Stage 1 children took part in 'Beep Beep Day.' The day was kindly put on by Higgins construction who are completing the Avondale Drive estate redevelopment and focused on developing children's road safety awareness particularly around construction traffic. The children had a workshop and then had the opportunity to sit inside the cab of a Higgins truck. It was a very informative and enjoyable day for the children. Thank you very much to Higgins for organising for us!

• John McDonnell MP visits Minet Infants

  Fri 16 Jun 2023

  For World Environment Day, after reading Greta and the Giants and being inspired by her message 'No one is too small to make a difference,' the Year 2 children wrote to Rt Hon Mr John McDonnell MP (the MP for Hayes and Harlington). They wrote persuasive letters expressing their worries about Climate Change. Imagine how honoured we were to have Mr McDonnell respond by saying he would like to visit the school and listen to some of the letters the children had written!
