Thank you

Huge thanks to all of you who came along to the Sunflowers Sports and Graduation yesterday . It was wonderful to see so many parents , grandparents , aunties and uncles helping to make it such an enjoyable occasion . I hope that you all enjoyed it as much as we did .
The children had great fun- especially with the water balloons! Most of the time they kept to the lanes and hardly any cheating at all:-) The highlight for us though , were probably the parents races - well done to all you willing volunteers! Its your participation that make our events and we thank you for that .

As I said at the graduation , its an emotional time for us as well as you , but we are confident that the children leaving us to start school this year are all ready to face the challenges of 'big' school , and we are proud to have contributed to their development. We wish you all a wonderful and happy time .

We are all overwhelmed by the very generous gift from the parents of those children. Its incredibly kind and thoughtful of you and hugely appreciated . The staff are already very excited at the prospect of a night out and discussions are well underway! (loved the card too!) Its not often that I'm lost for words but that did it yesterday :-)  Thank you all very much .

Today is a terribly sad day for us as we say goodbye to Catherine . We would like to organise a tribute to give to her family . Along with other settings , we will be collecting money to give to Catherine's husband , that we hope can go towards a trip to France , so the children can spend time with her family . We are also asking anyone who wishes , to write comments or memories of Catherine to pass onto her children . We hope that this will help them in the future to realise what a wonderful , kind, loving and generous woman their mother was , and how many lives she touched . I have already had some very touching emails from parents- some hadn't met Catherine , but their children had spoken of her with affection. We shall make a comment box for this , and all your contributions will be greatly appreciated . It can be one line or reams...every one will be a precious memory for her children .
