Head Teacher- Mrs Burden 

Forest school sessions continue to run this term on Wednesday afternoons. The children are really excited that we are lighting a fire each week. They have also been using tools to create a spark. In the next few weeks we will try cooking some bread on the fire. Please can I remind all parents that children should have a warm coat for forest school and a hat and gloves. 

If you want to help at Forest school or you are able to provide some wood for the fire please let me know. 

Thank you to those parents who were able to come to the Year R writing workshop this week. Mrs Fennell has uploaded the powerpoint for this meeting here: Catherington Church of England Infant School - Year R- Oak Class if you want to find out more or couldn't make the workshop. 

It was great to see parents at the Wellbeing Meeting on Wednesday too. Miss Watts and Mrs White were talking about Anxiety in children. If you missed the meeting and would like to know more then click on the link below.
