What an incredibly busy week!

We have been rehearsing and then performing in our first nativity production, we have had our first 'school' Christmas dinner, we have had our charity disco (our first disco at school which does not normally happen until the Summer term), w...

Time is speeding up, if only I had Hermione's time turner to stop time and get everything done!

Christmas has well and truly hit the Ark... The children have their own Christmas trees to decorate, and redecorate, and redecorate... Those 'classy' 80s foil streamers are u...

This week we have looked at different animals who come from "Hot Countries"... be it the jungle, the safari areas etc. There are many types of animals that come from hotter climates to us but we are a wee bit little to appreciate all the differences between these habit...

Amazing to think that not long ago Mrs B and I were getting ready to meet you all as we nervously prepared our Home Visits... In a sheer whirlwind, Parents Evening has been and gone and the hollibobs have started! (Hooray cheers the staff and tired children for a much...

On Thursday we wore yellow, in all shapes and forms... My late Uncle Fred would have been so pleased with my leopard print socks and pumps combo ;)

In the afternoon, we made "Happy C...

I shall think of a different opening line to "It's been a very busy week..."...but it has, err, been another busy week! :D

Little seeds of independence are growing in The Ark, which is amazing to watch. Little steps that the children do themselves builds confidence and...

And another busy week has now drawn to a close...where did that go?

I hope, like us, that you can see how your child is becoming much more settled into The Ark family. They are developing a great understanding of the rules and routines, so much so, we can begin to add a...
