Planting the Orchard, Raspberry Beds and raised beds. Thank you to all gardeners.

French beans, potatoes, red onions, and giving the raspberries a good drink

We all enjoyed a busy Saturday in the garden, thank you to all who helped. Looking forward to our first apples and raspberries in the Autumn.

Sickness Reminder

Children should not return to school until 48 hours after the last bout of sickness and/or diarrhoea, to prevent the spread of infection. Thank you.

Friday 15th May, 2015

Plant a Fruit Tree

On Saturday 16th May 2015 we are planting the Orchard.

We have received some of the trees for planting the orchard, and the raspberry canes.

Please come along and help garden, so the children can enjoy delicious fresh fruit straight from the tree.

10.30 onwards, this Saturday, refreshments provided.

Looking forward to seeing you, Catherine Orrell

Thanks to Defra and the RHS for the Incredible Edible Grant and Severn Trent for the tools.

Weekly Newsletter 8th May 2015

Cross Country

Cross Country took place but with a difference this week. Instead of getting too wet running around the village, Mrs Barker did a fun Zumba session in the Hall!

We will always do our best to get the children out and about on Fridays after school so it would be helpful if children could have a waterproof in their bag just in case of wet weather.

Cancellation of Clubs

If clubs ever need to be cancelled because of the weather, we will always phone to let you know to save you having to contact school.

SATs Week

Year 6 SATs start next Monday and the children have worked really hard this week to make sure that they are as prepared as they possibly can be. I’ve reminded them to have an early night on Sunday and a good breakfast! We wish them good luck and are sure they will all do their best.

Year 2s will also be doing their SATs next week, as Miss Moran discussed at Parents Evening.

Letters

Please could any remaining Class 5 swimming letters and Arthog medical forms be returned as soon as possible.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Incredible Edible Orchard

We have been awarded an Incredible Edibles Grant to plant an orchard. This will be between the poly tunnel and dipping ponds (under construction), dwarf fruit tree varieties: apples, pears, Mirabella, plum, cherry, damson will be used. And we plan to create a stepping stone path/trail between the trees.

On Saturday 16th May there is a working party to get the fruit trees planted. From 12.00 midday, although some work will be started around 10.30.

Please come along and help dig, weed, plant or wheel barrow peat free compost, everyone is very welcome and the more the merrier. Perhaps younger children can help plant up the raised beds with peas, beans, sweet peas, salad crops etc.

Really looking forward to a great day in the gardens and orchard.
