Children In Need Friday 18th November 2011

A huge well done to all our children & staff who made our 'spotty day' a resounding success! The staff baked themselves into a frenzy with an amazing array of cakes and thank you to our parents who contributed also. Special thanks are due to Mrs Hollwey who baked an incredible 'Pudsey' bear cake which was won as part of a 'pick a spot' competition. The children loved our 'spotty' dress up theme and we really appreciate the effort everyone went to. Total amount raised was £233.26. Well done everyone!

Halloween Fun!

We had a spooktastic time on Halloween dressing up in the nursery with lots of ghosts, fairies, vampires, witches, skeletons, cats and goblins hopping and scampering around! The 3-4 children in the afternoon were invited to Waterstones in Kettering for a fun-packed hour of halloween activities and stories. Mrs Parker and the staff accompanied them and this culminated in a fancy dress competition and 'monster' face pulling! Well done to the children (and staff) who made a fantastic effort with their wonderful costumes. I wish it could be Halloween every day...
