Local Community

Slideshow

Education isn’t just limited to the classroom, and we relish the opportunities to get involved with the local community.

Throughout all of our rooms, we thoroughly enjoy weekly sometimes daily educational visits. This includes visits to Skipton Town Hall Museum, Aireville Park, The Canal Basin, The Local Train Station, The Local Fire Station and much more! We also take our pre-school children out to forest school each term!

Here are a few recent trips we have taken out in the local community:

In October 2022, we visited a local hair salon and learnt all about the importance of brushing our hair and keeping it clean! We also that same week had a trip to our local food bank. We learnt all about why people access food from the food bank and even had the oppertunity to personally pack some food bags for the community. This was very rewarding! 

Also in October 2022, the Baby Room attended the local World Food and Diwali Awareness Festival held by Craven College. Not only did they get to participate in lots of craft making but they were able to try and experiement with new food. What a fantastic oppertunity, we hope it's on next year!

In November 2022, As we do every year, we created our very own Poppy Wreath to pay our respects to those whom lost thier lives in the line of duty during the First World War. We then visited the cenotaph to lay down our wreath and take a minute to reflect. 

In March 2023 we took part as we usually do in the Skipton Music Festival.  We sang and signed  the weather song, followed by singing in he rain and you are my sunshine. We sang a combined song with Otley Street which was big red combine harvester. We were fabulous!

In April 2023 whilst we were learning all about the celebration of Eid, we were lucky enough to take some of our older children to visit the Masjid mosque in skipton. We had a tour of the mosque and we were even able to quitely watch some of the men pray. What a fascinating experience. 

Also in April 2023, in line with the topic of the term, Who lives there? We were kindly allowed to visit Harrison & Boothman Estate Agents. The children loved looking at the various houses that were for sale, learning about different types of homes, they even managed to recognise a few houses for sale on their own street. 

What amazing learning oppertunites we have on our doorstep!
