Parent consultations for the Daisy room are taking place this week.  There are sign-up sheets with your keyworker, please make sure you sign up if you haven’t already.

Ark Farm

We will be having a visit from Ark Farm small animal encounter on Wednesday, the children will have the opportunity to meet a selection of small animals.  Such as chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, a pygmy hedgehog, a leopard tortoise, an owl, sugar gliders and at least one lovely dog.  www.arkfarm.co.uk

 Photographer

Helen Alderton has taken the individual photographs and we are expecting proofs back soon.

Arbury Carnival

The last carnival was a huge success once again.  Unfortunately some of the current committee members have resigned this year, so in order for the Carnival to go ahead in 2019 more people willing to become committee members are needed. This is a voluntary role and a drop in recruitment meeting will take place at the Arbury Community centre on Saturday 24th November from 1-4pm, please attend if you would like to get involved.
