A surprise Tiger Who Came To Tea party was held to say a fond farewell and ‘Happy Retirement’ to our Headteacher. Well done everyone, for managing to keep it a secret!

Throughout the Summer term, the Nursery School children look forward to their dance lessons with Vicky. The confidence they develop and the progress we see in terms of their body control and coordination, as well as their rhythm and response to the music is incredible.
Warmer days in Forest School enable children to pursue their interests in nature and the natural world. Their developing strength and coordination enables them to climb with more confidence and use tools effectively. Children are independent and confident, assessing risks and directing their own learning. Most of all, they have fun with their new-found friends!
Our Friends of Grosvenor (FOG) organised a Sponsored Bounce event to raise money for a new climbing frame for our Toddler Garden.
Our annual events for Dads, Grandads and special people in our children’s lives were well-attended. Children and adults enjoyed sharing stories together and were able to create a personalised gift to keep.
The children loved stroking the large animals as well as feeding and brushing the smaller ones – some were even brave enough to handle the snake!
We took some children to an Earth Day celebration event at Farnworth Library. The children learned about the things that live in a pond and how they can help to keep our ponds clean. They even made their own pictures of a pond.
We watch the first signs of Spring in Forest School! The children explore with confidence and they are able to do things very independently, such as climb trees, handle bugs and build shelters. They play cooperatively, helping each other and working together as a team.
This year’s annual morning coffee / afternoon tea events for Mothers’ Day were combined with a Literacy event for our Making it REAL (Raising Early Attainment in Literacy) Project. Children, Mummies and Grandmas enjoyed reading stories and acting them out together!
Our Chinese New Year celebrations included creative activities, role play and food tasting. Nursery School made a wonderful Chinese dragon and took it on our annual Chinese Dragon Parade around the whole nursery for everyone to see.
