Dear Parents/Carers
As many of you will have noticed, over the half term holidays a beautiful willow dome was erected near the Year 5/6 play equipment. This dome will be a fantastic teaching resource and when it is fully developed it will seat half a class at a time.
I am very grateful to Eleanor and Christopher Taylor’s family for spending a day over half term helping to plant and erect the dome and funding it as mentioned in a previous newsletter.
However, I’m sure you appreciate how sad both the Taylors and I feel to discover that it has already been damaged by some toddlers. Obviously, the damage was done unintentionally but can you ensure that if you do have toddlers they do not wander near the willow dome or go inside it.
We will now keep the fencing up until the end of this term so that the roots can get established. We look forward to watching it grow and appreciate your help in looking after it.
As you may have noticed, our phones have been out of order since Monday. Telecom has been trying to rectify the problem since Monday and hopefully it will be fixed by tomorrow morning. If they are not, you can contact us via email.
Yours sincerely
Lin Whyte
