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.

Rainbow club had another successful meeting on Monday 6th October. We looked at the display together in the lane and all of our hard work from the previous session before creating paper aeroplanes to test and fly in mini competitions. We had great fun doing this and experimenting in throwing from different heights. We ended the session by playing the Union Jack game with the parachute calling different colours from the flag. There was lots of laughter had today. |

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! |
