the first lock-down.
Fundraising
was greatly
limited due to the restrictions|at| |identifying
the difference the
charity's
work has made to
the circumstances
of its|||||the time, so the committee
found new ways
of raising funds,
including
a sponsored
lap-
a-thon, 'Bag2School' collections and|| |beneficiaries
and any wider
benefits to society as a|||||parental
donations. We also took part in the
Little Milton Christmas
and Easter 'walking'|| |whole.|||||fairs. These were well-supported|| ||||||community
events which helped to provide|| ||||||valuable
funds.|| ||||||As restrictions
were lifted, we held a coffee|| ||||||morning
with the main aim of welcoming|| ||||||new children
and parents
who had yet to|| ||||||properly
meet each other and also be|| ||||||together at The Orchard site. This was|| ||||||well-attended
and a positive step towards|| ||||||'normality'.|| ||||||Within the setting, a number of updates|| ||||||took place to ensure the setting was|| ||||||prepared
for the implementation
ofthe new|| ||||||EYFS(Early Years Foundation
Stage). The|| ||||||fish tank was also updated
to become a|| ||||||favourite feature for the children.|| |Achievements
