Exotic Zoo Visit 🐓🦂🐍

Today Reception were lucky enough to have a visit from ‘The Exotic Zoo’. 

We met some unusual creatures, learning facts about what type of animal they are.

We were all allowed to touch the animals, ensuring we took great care. Our teachers were so proud of us. 😊

The Exotic Zoo visit Reception!

Today Reception were lucky enough to have a visit from ‘The Exotic Zoo’. 

We talked about how to care for animals and listened to some ‘big words’ about the different types of groups the animals belonged to. 

The man from the Exotic Zoo then came round with each animal for us to have a close look. Some of us even chose to have a little stroke too. We were very brave and gentle with the animals when we touched them. 

It was so much fun! We wish the Exotic Zoo could come to school every day, especially the cheeky armadillo!

Monday 17th October

Reception’s very first school trip!!!

Yesterday, Reception were lucky enough to go on a school trip/adventure to Rock Church.

The children walked to the church and on the way looked at the new housing development in our local area. The builders were very busy at work.

When we arrived at the church we were greeted by a church minister and a man called Derek who has been a part of the church for 87 years!  The minister and Derek talked to us about the special signs, symbols and objects, found in a church, that are special to Christians. They even let us hold a HUGE book called the bible. It was very heavy!

Before we went back to school we enjoyed a biscuit and drink in the church hall.

Here are some photos of us on our trip. We hope you enjoy looking at them 🙂

The Harvest GATEway Project

3.10.22

Dear Parents and Carers,

This year for Harvest, we are collecting as usual, but in the spirit of supporting our immediate community, we have decided that we want this to be even closer to home and support our own school community in these times of ever-increasing cost of living for everyone.

We will be collecting non-perishable donations (tins of food, toilet rolls, toiletries etc.) for a ‘give and take’ bank – hence the name GATEway (Give And TakE)!

With the contributions that are generously shared by parents, staff and governors, we will be setting up a regularly replenished box of non-perishable items – into which you can add items (box 1) if you can; or take items (box 2) should you need. These boxes will be outside the main office in the parent shelter.

If you can give something, please add it to the box. The box will be based on trust and not manned, and we are very much hoping that it may support those in need as we move into the winter months and while the cost of living is ever more.

Our project will launch during Harvest and we will notify you when the ‘Give and Take’ boxes are in place.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Miss Cook
