Our sensory garden is full of fruit and vegetables after all of the hard work last term! The children in Years One and Two have enjoyed tasting the tomatoes. Everyone tried them and most said that they enjoyed them even though quite a few said that they don't like tomatoes. What a difference it makes when you grow your own! The children are looking forward to tasting the corns and apples that they have harvested. A huge thank you to Mrs Boyes and Mrs Eddon for all of their time supporting in this area of school. It's a fabulous area for our children to learn about seasonal produce as well as planting and growing. The transformation of this area is thanks to lots of hours work from staff and volunteers as well as a grant from Pickering Town Council. Our commitment to planting and growing our own produce has been supported by Kingspan Insulation UK.
We are looking forward to welcoming families to our Open Afternoon on Tuesday 23rd September 3.30-4.45pm. We look forward to seeing our current families as well as families who are looking to see whether our nurturing, highly ambitious and inclusive school is right for your child and family! It is a great opportunity to have a look around some of our classrooms, to explore our amazing outdoor spaces and to meet and talk to members of our fabulous staff team.
After a great start to the new school year for our Reception, Year One and Two children, it has been fabulous to welcome and welcome back our Nursery children. They have been busy making friends, getting to know their adults and learning areas and learning through their play. A super start!
We are proud to be a Platinum Standard OPAL School, which means we have achieved the highest level of quality in our OPAL Outdoor Play and Learning CIC work. We have a fabulous OPAL team led by Mrs Carter and Mrs Kelly and which includes our team of lunchtime staff. They can't wait for you to come and see what OPAL looks like at our school! We would like to invite current families and families thinking of joining our school community in the future to join us for our first stay and play session of the year.
There has been a fabulous transformation over the summer in our school grounds! A huge thank you to the team of staff and our volunteers who gave so much of their time over the summer and the holidays to get our trim trail back up and running, to relocate our rather palatial looking mud kitchen and to install some new roll over bars! There are more improvements coming but families are invited to come and have a look round with their children after school on Thursday 18th September for our OPAL Outdoor Play and Learning CIC Stay and Play. Look out for further information coming soon!
