Snakes and Slithery Things

Years 3 and 4 enjoyed a morning with the ‘reptile’ man as the stunning start for their learning journey. He came in with bags of snakes of all sizes and colours and the children were able to hold the snakes and ask questions to help them with their learning journey projects.

Family SEAL

We are very pleased to announce that this term we will be offering parents and carers another opportunity to take part in the Family SEAL programme. The programme is designed to create links between home and school and its aims are to support children in developing their social and emotional skills. The course runs over 6 weeks, takes place in school on Tuesdays and is led by our learning mentors: Tim Owers and Alan Meadows.  An introductory session for interested parents and carers is being held on Tuesday 2nd October. We ran a course last year which was very successful so I do hope you will come along and find out more.
