Spreads for toast

As many of you are aware, our toast in the morning is a big hit with the children. They love coming to school and being able to make their own toast. We are able to provide the bread for the toast, but we are coming to the end of the spreads we have at school, we will need donations of spreads. If you would like to bring in a jar or 2 that would be appreciated

Swimming and Cricket

Last week we were very lucky to have Mike BOP Cricket come to our school and teach us some cricket skills.  We loved it!

We also loved swimming in the pool.  It was so lovely and warm.  Remember swimming is a great opportunity for our children to learn some important skills and water confidence.
