Goodbye
At the end of the academic year
Karen and her team said goodbye
to 34 afternoon pre-school children
as they left us to start Primary
School. We ended the year with
our usual Leavers Party with a
bouncy castle, face painting and a
visit from Zoo Lab. We also said
goodbye to seven Year 6 Cabin
children who left as they move on
to Senior School. They were
invited to join their Leaders,
Maggie and Hannah, in a visit to
Pizza Express. We hope all the
children have a happy, exciting
Karen (our Management Team).
She will job-share this position
with Fiona Reynolds who

Summer Holiday Club
We have enjoyed another
successful Summer Holiday Club
within Cabin Crew.
We provided a wide variety of
activities including our hugely
popular trips. This summer saw
children visiting The National
Railway Museum, Archers Ice
1
Cream Parlour and the Forum
Cinema.
Holiday Club
Our Holiday Club is available to
any children (irrespective of their
primary school) aged 4-11 and is
open from 7.30am to 6pm.
We also offer a popular middle
session from 8.45am to 4.15pm at
£19. Our brochure and booking
form for October half term will be
available over the next few weeks.
First Half of Autumn Term
Pre-School will be using the book
‘The Princess and the Pea’ as a focus
for this half term, as well as ‘Me,
Myself and I’ as we reacquaint
and/or get to know one another.
Cabin will be thinking of ‘New
Beginnings’ as their focus. They
will be asking the children for their
ideas and interests for future topics
and themes.
Both Cabin’s and Pre-School’s
sessions are based around the
children’s interests and therefore
mainly child initiated, they are
often spontaneous but above all
they are lots of fun!
