We are currently improving the outdoor environment for the children. We have exciting plans for the playgrounds and have a very keen Gardening Club who are planting, weeding and making the garden areas attractive.
We are very grateful to FRANK’S CARPETS AT WESTERHOPE, who kindly donated a large roll of imitation grass for our ‘Fairy Garden’.
Karate, Cricket and Gary Ives after school clubs will finish next week and resume after half term. Please note Gary Ives does not resume until 14th JUNE.
Please find attached application forms for the clubs and a copy of the letter which will be sent out soon with details of a trip to Matfen Woods for Year One:
