Forest School Stay and Play – What a Lovely Morning! Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome our Reception Carle families to our Forest School Stay and Play session. It was wonderful to see children sharing their learning environment with their families and showing just how confident, curious and adventurous they are outdoors. Together, children and adults thoroughly enjoyed exploring Forest School, taking part in activities such as hide and seek, tyre rolling, climbing the tree, using the rope swing, digging in the pit, and mark-making with a variety of tools. Some parents even got competitively involved in den building! Thank you to all the families who joined us and helped make the session such a positive and memorable experience. We loved seeing the smiles, teamwork and enthusiasm throughout the morning! We look forward to welcoming more families to our upcoming Reception Murphy Forest School Stay and Play session.

Year 4 River Study Adventure at Frank Chapman! On Monday, our Year 4 children enjoyed a fantastic day of outdoor learning at Frank Chapman, taking part in a handson river study as part of their geography learning. The children explored the features of a river, observed the flow of water, examined the riverbank and learned how rivers shape the landscape. It was wonderful to see their curiosity, teamwork and enthusiasm as they engaged in reallife fieldwork and applied their classroom knowledge to the natural environment.

Last summer, Friday's got a little sweeter... and we think it's time to do it again
