Pre-Nursery & Nursery 14.3.25

Jaws n” Claws

To round up our topic on jungle and rainforests, we had a very special visit from Phil from Jaws “n” Claws. He kindly brought in Nigel the blue-tongued lizard, two African land snails called Frank and Dave, a selection of tree and bull frogs named Buster, Elvis and Pete, Steve the royal python, a bearded dragon called Ryan and lastly a duo of red foot tortoises named Lola and Winnie. We were proud of the children for being so kind and caring towards the animals, and for sitting and waiting patiently for their turn. Some of them were very brave and offered to hold the creatures, whilst others preferred to observe from a distance. One thing is for sure, there will be lots of little ones asking for pet reptiles!

Calendar dates

As we fast approach the Summer term, we can look forward to a host of special events and occasions such as Sports day and the Summer show. We understand the importance of securing the dates in the diary and will share these with you swiftly once returning after the Easter holidays.

Key dates
