    Published 03/06/26

    🏃‍♀️💜 Race for Life Pretty Muddy – 20th June! 💜🏃‍♂️

    We are very excited that the Race for Life is almost here! It’s fantastic to see so many of our children getting involved and raising money for such an important cause.

    If you have entered, please make sure you link your JustGiving page to Team Bilsthorpe so that we can keep an accurate and up-to-date fundraising total.

    📍 Race Information
    Nottingham Water Sports Centre

    🕤 9:45am – We will be cheering on the children as they set off on their course and supporting them as they tackle the muddy obstacles!

    🕚 11:15am – The staff will then take on their own muddy obstacle course challenge!

    🌟 A little warning from last year – we got absolutely COVERED in mud! Please remember to bring plenty of towels and something for your child to sit on in the car for the journey home.

    Important Reminder
    As previously mentioned, this is not a school trip. Staff will be there to support and encourage the children throughout the event and, hopefully, make them proud when we complete our challenge too! However, children must remain under the supervision of their parent/carer at all times.

    Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you there for a fantastic day of fun, mud and fundraising! 💜

  • Foundation 2 - Immersion

    Published 03/06/26

    Foundation Stage 2 kicked off their new writing sequence by immersing themselves in the wonderful story of The Gingerbread Man!

    To bring the text to life, the children carefully followed a set of instructions to create their very own delicious gingerbread men. This hands-on activity helped them develop their listening and sequencing skills while having lots of fun.

    The classroom was filled with excitement (and the wonderful smell of gingerbread!) as the children mixed, shaped and decorated their tasty creations. We can't wait to see how this experience inspires their writing over the coming weeks! ✨
