Outside of birthdays, it’s been a quieter school week. We’ve mostly been counting down our rsvps to the joint birthday party coming up, and trying to track down forgotten school jumpers (x2) and ‘lost’ trainers. Thankfully they’ve all turned up…
It feels like we’ve only been back at school and work for a couple of days, but nope, 2 weeks in and only a month until half term. Scary how time rushes by and really makes you think about how…
The first week of the new term has whizzed by and despite the break and having caught up on any sleep he might have needed (naps on a couple of days!), N was quite tired towards the end of the…

N’s been used to going to forest school at his old nursery. They have a beautiful forest school area on site, complete with tree house classroom, small pond and play equipment. It was a place to go and learn about…
It was a busy school week last week for N. The thing he was most excited about was his school trip which he’d been looking forward to for ages. School’s generally still going well, and he doesn’t seem too put…
