This week our newsletter looks at what children got up to, like celebrating a brilliant term of Green Explorers, building London skylines from Lego, welcoming a tractor visit, and enjoying a Spooktastic Halloween Disco. Thank you to our PTA for a joyful first event of the year. Have a lovely half term break, everyone.
