This week I met my new friends in Early Years, and what a lovely bunch they are! I am so proud of the brilliant start they have made— settling into school, learning new routines and making lots of new friends. They were very gentle and kind when they met me, and I’m looking forward to spending lots more time with them.Bodhi 🐾

When we pool our skills and resources together, we can make fabulous things happen!
Each year, we invite each phase group to host a bake sale once every term. We’ve seen some absolutely stunning bakes and learned that children are keen to order fruit too! The Early Years bake sale on Monday was the final one for the school year, and it raised a decent £50.55, bringing our total for the year to £736.61.
Friends of Fishergate has rounded that up to an exciting £1,000! Each phase group has been given £250 to use as they choose, and the spending has really varied. One group invited a geology expert to enrich their learning, while another opted for maximum fun with a bouncy castle. Another group decided to enhance their arts and crafts offerings for reward time with enticing new supplies.
Whether you bake, buy or help run a stall, your support makes a big difference to the children’s experiences in school. Thank you for your amazing help this year! Friends of Fishergate
