Screens are now part of everyday family life, but for very young children, clear and predictable boundaries can help screen time feel calm rather than constant.

Our latest guide shares practical advice for families, nurseries and early years settings on supporting healthier digital habits for under-fives.

The guide covers:
• Choosing age-appropriate content
• Protecting bedtime routines
• Keeping devices in shared spaces
• Co-viewing and talking about what children see
• Using simple scripts and transition warnings
• Modelling balanced device use as adults

With supportive tips and realistic routines, this guide helps adults manage screen time with greater confidence.

A whistle stop tour of our extensive Forest School lead by Teddy, our school dog. Visitors often don’t realise how large and well resourced this area is… with woodland trail, willow weaved walkways, hedgehog friendly areas, story chair, pond, fire pit and outdoor classroom space. We are very lucky to have this resource and it is well used thanks to two experienced Level 3 Forest School Leads, who plan and lead our children in their outdoor learning, Miss Bell and Mrs Nipper 👏🏻 #shineinlittleways #forestschool #outdoorlearning

☀️ Warm Weather this week ☀️

Dear parents/carers,

You will have seen on the news that there is a weather warning in place for heat over the rest of the week (Tuesday 23 June to Friday 26 June).

To combat this, school will be relaxing uniform rules so that the children are more comfortable. Therefore, for the rest of the week, we would like children to come in their PE kits/school shorts and t-shirts or school summer dresses.

In addition, we would ask that the children have sunscreen applied at home before they come to school and are equipped with a water bottle and a cap/sun hat.

All clothing needs to be appropriate tor school. Children will have regular access to water throughout the day.

Thank you.

☀️ Warm Weather Reminder ☀️

With warm weather forecast this week, we want to make sure all our children stay safe and comfortable during the school day.

Please ensure your child arrives at school with sun cream already applied, wearing a sun cap or hat, and with a filled water bottle so they can keep hydrated throughout the day.

We will also be encouraging children to stay in the shade during break and lunch times. Thank you for your support — let’s enjoy the sunshine safely! 🌞💧

Please bring in a donation for our Friend’s of St. Teresa’s TezFest tombola for our non-uniform day. Thank you.
