Dear Parents

Last week we had a big day focused on the Lunar New Year.  Children learnt about the year of the rabbit and the story behind it and took part in a range of activities including making noodles, using chopsticks, making lanterns and creating dragon dances. Click below to see some photos of the day.

Dear Parents,

Each week we have two signs of the week that staff and children learn and practice throughout the week. We thought it would be lovely for parents to learn these as well. This weeks signs are Good Morning and Good Afternoon.
