Dear Families,
We have made it to the end of a very long half term and I know that your children are tired. I hope that you have a restful half term planned before we begin the Christmas Term.
We have had a really fabulous time throughout this, our well-being week. Firstly, I must thank you for your incredible generosity. Yesterday, both schools saw mountains of gift items for our Christmas Box appeal. As ever the children chose, with care, the items for their boxes, lovingly wrapped these and added the checklists to the top. The conversations between children in both our schools has been remarked upon by the visitors who came to help. Collectively, we were able to fill and wrap 45 boxes from our schools. These will be blessed and will begin their journey after the half term holiday. THANK YOU! We look forward to hearing about the difference they have made.
Fun is the name of the game in both settings today. At Sand Hutton we are having a second ‘Break the Rules’ day. I am currently at Warthill and looking forward to seeing the many and varied ways in which children have chosen to ‘rebel’ for a day. At Warthill the ‘fun’ is calmer and on a sensory theme; the Sensory Den was set up this morning and I can currently hear children enjoying the different experiences.
Thank you FOWS for this. I’m hearing ‘best ever’, ‘can we have this all the time’ etc a lot! This is good value for money and it isn’t even ten in the morning yet!
Please could I remind anyone visiting woodland to collect and dry acorns and sycamore keys for us.
Also, we close today for half term and open again on Monday 4th November.
Please enjoy a fabulous half term,
With every best wish,
Beverley Pawson
