Lon arish Ltttle School Re We are pleased lo advise that Little School remains a popular preschool for families in Longparish, Andover, and the surrounding villages. We Currently have 39 children enrolled, with 19 of them preparing to leave for primary school this year. and our numbers for September are already looking very promising. The children continue to enjoy their time at Forest School. and we are pleased that the area has stayed dry enough to use this year. Throughout most of the year, we have also been joined by Robins class from Longparish School during ourThursday sessions. We ale delighted with the development of our relationship with the school, especially during our weekly visits to Robins class, where we run a gardening club. We are currently working towards creating a shared area for growing fruits and vegetables, bwth assistance from Tesco Community Helpers. Teaching children how to grow their own produce and understand where food comes from is incredibly important. Additionally, we participate in various joint activities with Robin class. including trips to the park. the shop, beach days, and, more recently, the exciting experience of watching duck eggs hatch. We also share fundraising efforts such as the Pumpkin Competition and the Sponsored Walk. Al the end of last term, we decided to conclude our sports sessions with the previous provider, and Knsty has since taken over these sessions. now renamed Physical Play. We have received positive feedback from parents. and the children are eagerly participating and demonstrating remarkable development in skills such as balan, core stability, agility, and Confiden in their abilities_ ort for 2024125 We have maintained our Eco School status and would like to thank Christian for visiting us to talk about the litter she collected in the village, which inspired the children to engage in their own litter picking efforts. We are also invesligating the impact of rubbish on our oceans, exploring ways to be good recyclers, and creating habitats for local wildlife. Recently, we added some wildflower grass to our nature area to encourage more bees, and we are delighted to have a blue tit nesting in our camera bird box. This year, we have enjoyed several visits to the church to lebrate harvest time, Christmas, and Easter. We also held a remembrance Servi there for our dearly missed colleague, Chris, who sadly passed away during the Christmas break. Our heartfelt thanks go to Sarah and her helpers for arranging suGh lovely aclivities for the children. Our woodwork sessions have remained very popular: resulting in some fanl8Stic creations by the children. The tools funded by the Parish Council have been particularly well received and are being put to very good use. We provide soft wo¢)d, additional resouices. and tools. allowing the children to design and create their own items, and we are continually impressed by their ingenuity. This year, we have plad a strong emphasis on maths, particularly by embedding subitising into our practi, enabling children to recognise quantities without counting. We are currently exploring shapes and measurements and intr¢)ducing methods for creating our own shapes while examining their prorErties. We are also investigating various ways to incorporate measurement into children's play. For example, we are measuring temperatures in both shaded and sunny areas while planting our wheat crop. using a calendar whiteboard lo track the days leading up to significant events, and measuring the depths of puddles in our Forest School to observe changes over time. We are hoping to add a small extemal classroom for use as a Sensory Pod and for small group worl( with our children who have additional needs such as help with speech and

language. We have a brilliant SENCO al Little School. but are currently forced to hold these sessions sitting on the floor of the preschool lobby which is far from ideal, being Gold in the winter, and full of the children's coats and belongings. We have been making enquiries into the likely cost of this project, and have approached the school. the PCC (who own the school site). and the Parish Council for their feedback. which has so far been favourable. Test Valley Borough Council's Community Engagement Officer. Jenny Brain. is scheduled to visit us on 29 April to take a look at the proposed sile and advise us on funding for our project. Lastly, we would like to take this opportunrty to acknowledge the wonderful Lrttle School team of staff and our volunteer Management Committee. They work tirelessly to ensure that the children have the best possible slart, equipping them with the skills they need for their future endeavours. We are also proud to support the next generation of childcare professionals. We have assisted one apprentice in completing her level two childcare qualification, and she is staying with us to embark on her level three ioumey. We also provide Plament opportunities for a student pursuing the T Level in childcare. In an industry that often struggles with recruttment, we are grateful to support these students, who have muctt to contribute to the future of childcare. Claire Nash, Early Years Manager
