The Grand Opening of the Adventure Playground
Roday we finally held the grand opening of our brand new Adventure Playground! The playground has been funded by money raised by our incredible Friends group; we couldn’t be more grateful for the effort you have all made for our children to create a year-round area the children can use. Thank you to everyone involved in the building and construction too included Ray Parry and his team.
Chair of Governors, Keith Lister, helped Andreas cut the opening ribbon and all the children were able to have a first play on the area. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the opening!
The Selman family also joined in the celebrations; Mrs Selman held a birthday party which saw all funds raised donated to our playground! Amazing!

World Book Day in Rabbits! 📚
We have had a fantastic day in Rabbits celebrating all things books! We took part in ‘The Great World Book Day Draw-Along with Swapna Haddow and Sheena Dempsee’ and we drew some very impressive pigeons!
Then we had a workshop with the children’s author Teresa Heapy. She read us some of her wonderful stories and we got to create our own characters for stories we are going to be writing soon.
Our costumes were all fantastic, and we had great fun sharing stories and talking about our favourite books!
World Book Day 2023
We have had a very special World Book Day this year as we welcomed special visitors to our school. Firstly, we met author Teresa Heapy who spent the day delivering workshops to all the children, talking about her books and sharing her experience as an author. However we were equally excited to invite the children from Packwood School to share the day with us! As always, we had a great day and all the children looked just fabulous. Thank you to Teresa and the children from Packwood for joining us!
