📣 Attention Childcare Providers 📣

To further enhance our EYFS transition, we are running a short drop in session for our feeder childcare providers (this includes childminders).

This is a great opportunity for you to learn more about school readiness and for us to learn more about the children transitioning to us.

A range of handouts will be available in addition to a tour of our Nursery & Reception classes, giving you a feel for where children will be in September.

This is a great opportunity for professional collaboration and development.

We can’t wait to see you there 🙂🌟

World Book Day was made even more magical by our wonderful staff getting into the spirit! ✨📚

Today in our first Explorers ASC we were taught how to carefully use a palm drill. We did this to create a hole in our pendents. We also used a sharp knife to cut the string. Here are some of our amazing creations! 🌳

Reception were really lucky to have a talk from Mrs B who works in the hospital with other Radiologists. She showed us the different equipment that the hospital use to take pictures of inside our bodies. We thought some of the pictures looked creepy, especially the MRI of a baby. Thank you so much for telling us all about your job and how you are one of the hero’s without a cape 🏥

A huge thank you to Samantha at ASCETS for delivering a whole school assembly and individual lessons to teach us more about Neurodiversity ✨

The Good Morning Club ☀️
Where supporting emotional regulation, well-being and connection is key. We are so proud to be a TGMC school 🏫✨

A huge thank you to our parents that were able to attend our coffee morning. It was amazing to share with you the magic of TGMC.

If you were unable to attend but want more information about supporting emotional regulation at home, an email will drop into your inbox shortly ✨

This is your reminder for our CLA coffee morning tomorrow ☕️✨
