Weekly News Update

Happy Beltane, everyone!

We started our day with a walk around the town and the Abbey. It was lovely to feel the buzz of the celebrations.

The children have also been busy making Beltane crowns today, which they thoroughly enjoyed. They have loved having their first swimming lessons of the term this week as well.

Our Summer Fete is only a few weeks away, so please look out for information about items we may need you to bring in or donate. Raffle tickets will be sent home soon too.

Please keep an eye out for upcoming dates—we are still finalising a few.

Enjoy the bank holiday weekend!

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
