One of the highlights of our return has been our Champions of Courage learning focus, which has already inspired so many of our children. Alongside this, we’ve launched our new playtime initiative, Thrive Play, which has transformed lunchtimes into an even more engaging and joyful experience.

The children have absolutely loved exploring the new equipment, particularly in our Forest School area, where they’ve been building dens and tackling the assault course. Those who brought in wellies have been able to fully enjoy these activities without worrying about the winter weather! Across the playgrounds, we’ve introduced new equipment to every play area, which has created a truly vibrant and fun lunchtime for everyone.

Looking ahead to next week, we’re taking Thrive Play a step further by introducing free-flow play between the different areas. This means children in Year 1 will also have the opportunity to explore the Forest School. Please ensure your child has a pair of wellies in school so they can make the most of this exciting lunchtime experience.

Finally, a gentle reminder: if you have any old Lego at home that your children no longer play with, we’d love to give it a new home here at Chilton. Thank you in advance for any donations—they make a big difference in helping us provide enriching activities for all our children.

Thank you again for your continued support this week. We wish you all a relaxing and enjoyable weekend.

Warm regards,
Mr McAuley
