Christmas Dinner
Wednesday we had a delicious Christmas dinner provided by CaterLink and thank you again to the kind person that funded the Christmas dinner for everyone.
Nativity Play
On Tuesday, Year 2 performed their Nativity play. Their acting skills were fantastic and their lines well rehearsed. Well done year 2! (photo's below)
Reception Festive Songs
The little reindeers sang like angels on Wednesday when they performed their Christmas songs. Excellent job Conker and Acorn (photo's below).
Call for Feedback on the latest Forest Garden design
We shared the latest design for the new Forest Garden area at the Christmas Fayre. The new area at the back of the Junior playground will integrate Forest School and Outdoor Learning, with natural play and a food forest. It is shaping up to be a very exciting and unique educational space! We are currently fundraising and planning to start the installation in the summer holidays 2023. We would love your feedback on the design so that we can make changes before the next stage of planning the works.
Please see the design by following the link and filling out the --> Survey by Monday 16th of January. Any feedback is much appreciated.
Many thanks to parents Anne Schroell and Susie Hyden for doing such an amazing job developing the designs and for all their input into the process. To find out more about the Forest Garden area or offer support please get in touch with Rob the Forest School Gardener at r.logan@brookfield.camden.sch.uk.

Lost Property
We are still getting items of clothing in school without names which is very difficult to reunite with their owner. Please make sure you name all your children's belongings.
