As a school we understand the unique challenges that military families face. We are working hard to meet the specific needs of service children and have put the following support in place which is available to all service and ex-service children:
Rainbow Club will take place after school on the following dates throughout the Autumn term:
Collection will be from the front of school at 4:00 pm.
Rainbow Club Display – The children have taken ownership of their own display which celebrates their military background. If you have any military items that you wish to donate or would like to share with Rainbow Club then please let me know.
Some of the activities we have been up to include, creating poppies for our school display, making poppy crosses to be laid in the school grounds and tasting current ration packs which included cereal bars, cola bottles and apple turnovers.
What a delight it was to be back with our Rainbows again! As a service family, we met together for our first session on Monday 22nd September. The sun was shining, so we started our circle time outside where we shared our favourite colours, love of animals and most importantly shared who was special in our families at home that united us - our special mums or dads who served in the forces. Lots of smiles were shared as we played pass the smile. Inside, we talked to each other freely about ourselves before completing our All about Me's to be displayed in our notice board in the lane. It was great to see the older children helping the younger ones. Our next session is in October and we can't wait! |
