Tree Tops News

Big shout out and thank you!

The children and staff at Tree Tops would like to say a big thank you to all the parents and children who donated “Pennies for Pudsey”. We used the coins that were donated to cover a collage of Pudsey Bear that the children had made the week before and we raised £14.56. Thank you for helping us to 'show our spots'!

Feeding the birds 

This week we have been thinking about the changing seasons and what we can do to help the wildlife around us now the weather is turning colder. We have started the process of decorating yoghurt pots to turn them in to bird feeders that can be hung from trees in the garden or from balconies. 

We talked about different ways we can encourage wildlife to visit, even if we don’t have a garden and, remembering we are a nut-free school, we made sure we didn't use peanuts in our bird-feeders!

More information about creating a wildlife friendly area and how to make the bird feeders can be found here.

A huge thank you to everyone who signed up to have a Curchods board outside their home to promote our Christmas tree sales. After a slow start, we eventually had 92 families sign up ensuring that we’ve raised a fantastic total of £920 through the generous sponsorship of Curchods.
