Tulip, Blossom & Sunflower Blog - Friday 13th February 2026

 Happy Friday everybody! Welcome to this week's blog. It is amazing to think that we are half way through this academic year!

• Thursday 5th March - World Book Day
• Wednesday 18th March - Parent/Teacher Consultations

Next Forest Schools Session

Please remember your change of clothes/footwear on these dates:

• Friday 27th February - Sunflower

The children have worked so hard and we want them all to have a good rest over half term. To this end, we will not be sending home homework books over half term and will be carrying over the spellings to be tested on the first Friday back. We would encourage you, however, to read with your child as regularly as you can.

Have an amazing half term and we will see you all back here on Tuesday 24th February!

Lots of love
