b'The NewsEarly Years SchoolThe Secret Garden This term Year 1 were the lucky children chosen to be the first to use our new secret garden.They were excited to find that we now have a garden up on the roof, and eager to join the activities. The children were able to explore the new space and learn some forest school skills. They learnt to tie knots to join themselves to a partner and later to help them to make a kite. The weather was certainly windy enough for kite flying, unfortunately we also had heavy rain and hail on the first day, so some activities had to be moved inside. We hope for sunny skies for the New Year whenthe children will be learning more skills including how to make a fire to cook up some hot chocolate. In the coming months children from Reception and Nursery will also begin to explore the secret garden.6'
