Week 1
Summer term 1 has started, the sun is out (some of the time) and our class has returned with a spring in their step. Year 5 have jumped straight back into their work and we have been thoroughly impressed. Of course, it was not all work and no play. We were lucky enough to get to experience a 'disc golf' session on Wednesday which the children loved even if the summer sun was away that day.
Term 2
Week 6
We were delighted to receive a huge delivery of chocolate treats from our friends over at Uncle Paul’s Chilli Farm. We have partnered with the charity for some years now to enable them to gift a treat to as many children as possible in the area. We are so grateful to Uncle Pauls for their support over the years. It means so much to our children and staff.
Founded in 2020, Uncle Paul’s Chilli Charity is set in a unique, rural environment and welcomes young people and adults who may have experienced social disadvantages or barriers to learning and/or employment.
