Thank you to all those parents who attended the Nursery parent information and the Rec parents information evenings on 17th and 24th September 2009. The parent evaluation slips from these evenings were all very positive.   <> Comments included:   <> Good to find out about all the activities that my child does.   <> Really useful to have an informal chat with the teachers.   <> I now have a much clearer idea as to how to help my children at home.   <> Nice to meet up with other parents too.   <> Brilliant to see how the children learn through play.   <> The teachers were very enthusiastic. Suggestions for us to consider in the future were to hold these meetings earlier in the term if possible and give opportunity to see the children’s classrooms. We definitely needed to hold the meeting in the hall this time as there was such a good turn out of parents.

See the video: click here	Thurs 7 Feb 08 2.00pm - 3.00pm We had a fabulous afternoon with our local visiting author, Neil Griffiths, on 7.2.08. His love of reading definitely rubbed off on the children, when he shared his books, "Messy Martin", "The Journey" and "Itchy Bear". The Children joined in book performances which included lots of laughter and whoops of delight! Thankyou to those who attended the fabulous session for parents on helping our children become life long readers,they had the opportunity to buy some of Neil's books and the feedback they gave was excellent.
