Last Friday and this week, our Year 2 classes enjoyed visiting the Centre for Wildlife Gardening in East Dulwich.
May Days Once again we have had a fun-packed week in Nursery and Rainbows, despite it being a short one, following the May bank holiday on Monday.
Even though it was a slightly shorter week due to the bank holiday, the children have been so busy.
At the Upper School this week, we have marked David Attenborough’s 100th birthday with a special assembly celebrating his life and work.
