We would like to say a massive thank you to J.Wong for so kindly providing us with a complimentary Chinese takeaway and delivering it to us at Rockhopper to help us celebrate Chinese New Year.

The food was absolutely delicious and made our celebration extra special. Your generosity truly meant so much to us all. The children were so excited and incredibly grateful — they made a card and some crafts to show just how much they appreciated your kindness.

We honestly can’t put into words how thankful we are. Your thoughtfulness made a real difference to our day, and we are so very grateful for your support.

With heartfelt thanks,
Everyone at Rockhopper

Just before Christmas we ran a design your own Christmas jumper competition; every entry recieved a small edible prize and the winners recieved a selection box.

We really do have some very creative children!

Happy New Year 🥳

If your child has any crafts to collect from Rockhopper please let them know I will be keeping them in the studio until Friday 9th January.

🎨 Rockhopper After School Club Update! 🍂

Our amazing children have been getting super creative! They’ve loved crafting this week – painting beautiful autumn trees full of vibrant colours and making poppies to remember the soldiers and animals who served in the wars. ❤️🌳🌺

Thank you to Mrs Newbold and Mrs Southwell for coming up with these amazing ideas!
