Dear Parents/Carers,

What a busy week it has been!

On Monday, Year R had a very special visit from John the Beekeeper. The children were fascinated as they learned even more about the important role bees play in our environment. John brought along some of his beekeeping equipment, and the children enjoyed getting a closer look at how honey is made. Of course, one of the highlights was getting to taste some delicious honey – a real treat!

On Wednesday, it was SPORTS DAY and what a fantastic day it was! All of the children across the school took part with great enthusiasm and energy. Despite the heat, they showed incredible determination, teamwork and true sportsmanship throughout the day. A huge thank you to Mr White and his team for their brilliant organisation of the event. The children participated in a wide range of activities, from obstacle courses to relays, before finishing with some exciting track races.

We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the adults who came along to FUDGE lunches and to Sports Day. Your support and presence meant so much to the children – they were absolutely beaming to have you there cheering them on!

A big thank you, too, to the PTA for their ongoing support and for providing refreshments during Sports Day. It was greatly appreciated by everyone on such a warm day.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend, 

Miss Capes, Mrs Jackson and the Maundene Team
