Grab your glue, sticky tape and scissors and let your imagination soar as we celebrate Easter!
Rabbits, Eggs, Hot Cross Buns… anything goes. The only rule is that it must sit on your head.
The children will parade their creations around the hall in an Easter Celebration Assembly on the morning of
Friday 11th April.
FOAS will be providing prizes for some of the best bonnets!
As part of this week’s World Book Day celebration, the children of Avening School returned to the classroom in their pyjamas for a Bedtime Stories session.
With their favourite teddy, a cup of hot chocolate and even a biscuit, the children sat and enjoyed reading books to each other.
Thank you to the FOAS team for serving the refreshments.
The World Book Day fun continues later this week, and we can’t wait to see how Ms Adcock transforms the school this year. Her decorations are incredible!
Pull on your favourite Christmas jumper, a festive hat, pop on your wellies and join us in the school garden for a Fledglings Christmas Adventure.
