01.12.25 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone!

Over the last 2 weeks, the children have been busy creating some lovely Christmas Tree Gonks for the school's tree at the Christmas Tree Festival at Holy Trinity Church. The tree will be on display over this weekend, so if you are in Rayleigh and have the time, please do pop in and visit. The church is full of trees from lots of local schools and organisations and looks wonderful. (It would be great if you could vote for our tree if you do manage to visit too!)
