POCKET LADY FRIDAYS
We will be meeting every Friday morning in the Afternoon Care room after drop off. It is a lovely way to meet other parents, and gain inspiration from seeing what others are doing. You don’t have to be crafty, we can show you what to do and find a gift for you to make which matches your skills. Alternatively, collecting materials would be helpful. We need smooth pebbles (max 2 inches), acorns, pine cones, beech nut cases, sequins, felt, ribbons and beads. Any donations can be delivered to the afternoon care room on Friday morning. Contact Synnove, Louis mum in Caroline’s Class for more information.
