Friday 5 December 2025 Christmas Fun! Christmas is well and truly here! The Kindness Elves have arrived and are watching us in class, reporting back to Father Christmas! We sprinkled the magic dust over them to welcome them into Giraffe Class.

Friday 21 November 2025 Brrrr! It has certainly turned a little chillier after all that wet weather last week! Please can all children make sure they bring a coat to school now that the colder days seem to be settling in. On PE days, if children are wearing trainers with laces, they must be able to tie them independently—this really helps us keep the sessions running smoothly.

Friday 14 November 2025 Giraffes as Scientists! We started the week by wearing our odd socks to mark the beginning of Anti-Bullying Week. The children really embraced this—there were certainly some incredibly snazzy socks on display! We celebrated our differences and talked about what bullying means, as well as how it differs from simply being unkind.
