Nurturing Young Minds for a Bright Future


Dear Parents and Carers,  

We had a lovely start back after half-term, and it was great to hear all about the children's adventures.

On Tuesday, the juniors had their first session at Falcons Gymnastics. They had a wonderful time and are looking forward to next week.

We had a very exciting morning on Wednesday! We had a visit from Sophie Gillies (first team player for Exeter City Football Club) and David Gribble (Operations lead for the women's team). The children took part in a PE session with Sophie and football activities at playtime. We were able to have some time to ask her questions and have signed programmes from her! It was a wonderful and inspiring morning for our children and there is even more excitement to come.......we will keep you posted! Thank you to Leah for organising this visit for our school.

We have lots to look forward to next week too – 

Monday – Juniors out for a trip to Ilfracombe.

Tuesday - Falcons for juniors.

Wednesday – Whole school Chinese New Year activities in the afternoon.

Thursday – WORLD BOOK DAY! (Forest School will still take place for juniors).

Just a reminder that we will have parents evening on Wednesday 11th March. Please sign up for an appointment on arbor.

 

Have a lovely weekend!
