This week we had a performance from Kai and Oliver – well done boys! We also listened to a global project called Planet Drum – thinking of drumming as a universal language.

Build a Bug Hotel!

Thank you!
The quality of our Spring Bonnets, and the thought and care that has gone into the decorated eggs has scaled new heights this year. The children looked wonderful in their bonnets and the display of eggs has brought smiles and laughter and admiration from everyone. I will share the link when the photos are on our website and our social media. Thank you and well done!
Key dates:
Saturday 1st April – Join the Lyme National Trust rangers and the Plant NOMA team to help us build the largest bug hotel in Manchester City Centre!
