Family Sharing Coffee Morning - Thank you.

26/4/2013

Thanks to all the parents who were able to make it in for the coffee morning this morning. It was great to talk and to share our experiences and stories. Some parents were having such a good time they stayed to help Ross and Claire with our outdoor maths lesson. The children made 2d shapes on the ground in chalk, turning some of them into pictures.

We also came up with a few ideas for events for the school, including the possibility of a culture week in June. We could explore with families and the children our diversity of cultures, food, clothes and traditions. If anyone has any ideas for this or would like to help organise some of the activities please let Ross or Claire know.
