Well done to all our attendance winners. Bronze certificates were given to children who achieved 100% attendance this half term and silver certificates were given to children who had 100% for the whole of the summer term. All of the children who were given a certificate also got to choose a special attendance prize.

Extra special gold certificates were also given out to children who have achieved 100% for the whole of the school year. These children received a book voucher to spend at Waterstones. 

Well done to all of these children who received a certificate and have achieved excellent rates of attendance. 

So, here we are, approaching the penultimate Friday of Term 6 and the end of the Nursery year. I can't quite believe we're here after a fantastic year of learning! And what a record you have of their learning with all the weekly blogs and photos which you can visit and revisit at your leisure on the school website. 

The children have all coped marvellously talking about moving to Reception and those that will be coming back to nursery and will not see some of their friends that are moving.   We have spent time in PSHE discussing changes which we hope has also helped those who are moving house. They asked questions and walked around to get a feel for their new learning space.

This week, the children had the fantastic time in the school disco and they all loved playing on the bouncy castle.   

All that remains is to say a huge thank you to our wonderful parents/carers for helping with anything we needed in nursery and for all your support.

Have a super summer!

The children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 showed off their amazing sports skills today during Sports Day. They had fun running, jumping, throwing and even doing the obstacle course! We can't wait to see who has won the Sports Day trophy for Year 1 and Year 2 when we have counted up all the scores. Thank you to all the parents who supported their children and joined us for the picnic, the children had a lovely day.

Our Nursery children had a picnic today with families, along with the teachers, played a variety of games and enjoyed each other's delicious delicacies in the great weather. Thank you to everyone who came along.
