Now that the Spring term is well underway, we are starting to see more sunshine and signs of Spring around. The children have already been very busy, but we have lots more to enjoy this term, including lots of learning about animals across the school and a themed book week with visits from authors. We also have trips planned for EYFS and Year 1 and Year 2, Red Nose Day activities, a disco, Easter mini fete and story cafes!
