RHS SCHOOL GARDENING AWARD
We have now achieved our Level 4 RHS School
Gardening award certificate. To achieve it we
had to bake something using produce for our
garden. Lorraine and some of the children
collected apples and used them to make a
delicious apple pie!
As well as a certificate we have also been given
a Super Seed Bundle of Mr Fothergill's seeds
worth over £100! This box is bursting with 47
packets of seeds from tomatoes, carrots and
pumpkins to forget-me-nots, poppies and
cornflowers, giving us something to sow or
harvest all year round.
To achieve Level 5 we are planning on hosting
a garden party in the summer term so watch
this space!
SUPPORTING LUKE MORTIMER
Luke was a budding 7 year old rugby player, a bundle of
joy who even at a young age had embraced life and
everyday was a happy day. His whole family was part of
the rugby community, with his dad coaching many age
grade youngsters and his mum, running a children’s
rugby kit recycling stall, so that the young boys and girls,
always had the right gear to play and train in.However,
whilst the rest of us were buying and wrapping presents
ready for Christmas, the families life was turned upside
down. On the 13th Dec 2019 Luke fell ill with
with Meningococcal Meningitis which is a bacterial disease which if not treated early is a killer. Luke
was rushed to hospital and with the fantastic work of our nurses, doctors and specialist care teams
Luke was transferred to Sheffield Children’s Hospital Luke’s and his young life was saved, however the
disease has taken its toll on his little body. Over the last 28 days Luke has endured many hours of
surgery to remove both hands, left at mid forearm and right just below the elbow, he has also lost
both legs below the knee. He has proven he is a fighter, however his life and the life of his mum, dad
and his 10 year old big brother will never be the same.Luke and his family will now face many
challenges." We had a 'wear your pyjama's for Luke' day across the whole setting and raised a
phenomenal £170, thank you to everyone who donated, this along with many locally hosted
fundraising events, is a way to help Luke and his family."

FOREST SCHOOL'S LEADER ASSESSMENT
Alison is now half way through her Forest
School's Leader qualification (Level 3). At this
half way point she needed to go to Bewerley
Park Centre for Outdoor Education to be
assessed on her practical skills, which she
passed with flying colours!
As part of the assessment she had to
demonstrate that she could use a variety of
open and closed bladed tools safely e.g.
loppers and bow saw. Erect a shelter and tie a
variety of knots. Demonstrate that she could
boil water in a Kelly Kettle, light a fire and
manage it safely. She cooked a three course
meal on the open fire and finally had to
deliver a session to the other candidates
Some of Alison's taking the assessment with her.

Now that the practical assessment has been
completed we can incorporate tool use and
can light fires as part of our Forest School
provision.

GET TO KNOW OUR TEAM
I’m Natalie, I have worked at Brougham Street Nursery for a year. I started
off in Toddlers and moved into Nursery School in September 2019. I have
lots of experience working in nurseries, I spent eight years at my previous
job working with children aged 0-4. I completed my apprenticeship in
childcare in 2012 and have since gone on to study Early Childhood Studies
at Blackburn university where I am currently in my final year.
I live up in Settle and have done for 21 years. I live on my own but my
parents, younger brother and two dogs live up the road! In my spare time
I like to spend as much time as possible with my friends, family and
partner. We spend a lot of time walking at the beach. I also enjoy going to
the cinema and exploring new areas of the country.
We love to hear from parents throughout the year and have an open door policy for parents/guardians
to contact us with any questions or concerns. Alison, Ann, Lorraine, Natalie and Michael
