Reception Trips

Tuesday 13th May 2025

As part of our ‘Ants to Elephants’ topic, we are learning about farm animals. To develop and enhance our learning, the children will be visiting Bocketts Farm on Tuesday 13th May. Activities will include a tour of the farm, small animal encounters, a tractor ride and pig racing.

Lunch will be eaten at the venue, please can you provide your child with a packed lunch. If you would like school to provide a packed lunch please email the office no later than Friday 11th April 2025.

We would highly recommend the children use a small rucksack. Please do not send your child with a large lunchbox or bag as they will have to carry it. 

We may also need some parent volunteers. If you are available on this date and would like to offer your help, please email the school office at the earliest opportunity. We will then contact you to confirm your help.

This trip will cost £24.50 and payment can be made on Arbor, under Activities/Trips.  This cost covers the admission and coach to and from the farm. 

We hope your child will enjoy the trip and we thank you for your ongoing support. 

Kind regards

Tuesday 12th November 24

We have some wonderful activities planned for your children this Autumn term, including:

Early Years’ Story Hunt - Fairy Tales Storytelling Workshop: Tuesday 12th November 2024.

In Autumn 2, your child will be taking part in an engaging storytelling workshop as part of our ‘Once Upon a Time’ topic at school. The children will go on an imaginary journey to discover and explore favourite fairy tales such as ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, ‘The Gingerbread Man’, ‘The Ugly Duckling’ and ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’. Using songs, rhymes and activities, the children learn different tales and about the importance of storytelling. They'll embark on an exciting imaginary journey filled with songs and rhymes!

• The cost of this workshop is £6 per child.

• You can pay through the Arbor online system.

We're confident that your children will thoroughly enjoy these experiences. Thank you in advance for your support and cooperation!
