👋 LIVE FROM THE HIVE … 👋

🎒 SENIOR EXCURSIONS 🎒

Our seniors’ excursion are growing in popularity - the older kids the extra freedom and responsibility of their dedicated mini-trips out of school in the afternoon. In Wk10, we headed off straight after roll call, taking afternoon tea with us. It worked well, and gave us an even longer excursion - win/win!

💡 REMINDER - SIGN OUTS 💡

It’s a legal requirement that children are correctly signed in & out. Even if you forget your phone, you can still sign in/out at the iPad, using your phone number and the PIN you chose when you created your Xplor parent profile.

🙋🏽‍♀️ Not sure how, or need a hand…? Just ask a staff member 🙋

🐟 WHERE ARE THE FISH? 🐠

We finally had to accept that it was just too hard to keep our fish tank clean. Our fish have now been rehoused with a local fish enthusiast, and he’s also been able to advise us on our exciting new plans for the tank…. a playground for HERMIT CRABS!!

The children will help to plan, design and then build a wonderful dry tank environment for our new crabby friends! 🦀 We’ll make sure it includes everything they need to be safe and happy. We’ll also get busy creating some housing options for them, including (of course) a lovely range of sea shells 🐚🐚🐚

🐝 BEE OF THE WEEK 🐝

YONAH (Y6)

For making children of all ages feel cared for and included. We’ve noticed that if Yonah ever spots
someone looking a tad lost or lonely, he heads straight over to check on them and ‘bring them in’.
We love this about you, Yonah - it’s a very special quality...
