Water, water and even more water games today. What a fun-filled day the children have had in Holiday Club! There were smiles all around, and the children certainly made the most of the sunshine. ☀️

Mrs Purcell said “our outdoor games were a hit, with everyone getting involved and having a fantastic time. I’m in no doubt they’ll sleep well tonight… I know I will!”

☀️ A polite reminder: Please ensure your child has sunscreen applied before arriving in the morning and send them in with sunscreen for a top-up throughout the day. Thank you!

Our school dog, Mooli, made a special appearance at Holiday Club today and had a wonderful time exploring with the children! 🐾☀️

There was plenty of fun to be had, from bracelet making and exploring the woodland area to enjoying the beautiful sunshine. It was a lovely day for everyone!

☀️ A polite reminder to all parents and carers: please apply sunscreen to your child before they attend Holiday Club, particularly on sunny days. Thank you!

Yesterday, the children in Holiday Club made the most of our lovely local area and headed to Crosby Beach to soak up the sunshine and enjoy some fun by the sea.

📸 More lovely moments from our Reception to Year 1 transition morning, featuring Miss Walton’s class!

Miss Walton and Miss Shaw had a wonderful time welcoming their future Year 1 classes into their new classrooms before the summer break. From getting creative with their very own Toy Story-inspired Forky characters to enjoying some outdoor fun together, the children had a fantastic morning getting to know their new teachers and classmates.

The children also enjoyed blowing bubbles in the sunshine, while practising their MyHappymind ‘happy breathing’ before spending some time playing and having fun together.

It was a lovely morning filled with smiles, creativity and plenty of excitement for the year ahead. We can’t wait to see everyone back in September! 💙

Our Holiday Club bakers enjoyed the fruits of their labour after spending the morning baking.

Their homemade jam and lemon tarts turned out brilliantly, and they tasted just as good as they looked. What a treat! 🍋
