Hurst Green School and Nursery

Hurst Green School & Nursery are gearing up for the last term of another school year.

Our Nursery children enjoyed a visit from Zoolab last term and watched caterpillars transform into butterflies. The whole school enjoyed a street party on the playground to celebrate the King’s Coronation. Each child received a medal as a gift from the Parish Council. Our Y6 children did their SATs and are now busy preparing for their end of year play The Wizard of Oz.

The Churchyard

More than a footpath from the A21 to the woods.

Thanks to a great team of volunteers on Bank Holiday

Monday 8th May, a whole lot of work was done to tidy up the graveyard. Throughout the summer months there will be more opportunities to keep the grass and hedges cut, so if you are free and able to help, just come along on the following dates: Sat 10th June, Sat

8th July, Sat 12th August and Sat

9th September from 10.30am.

At the moment we are leaving areas for the wildflowers to bloom and by the time you read this there should be some sheep grazing!

Our gardening club have been preparing and planting up the school grounds which is really starting to take shape.

The school fundraising committee are getting ready for stalls at the upcoming Village Fete on Saturday 17th June. Please come along and support us.

We look forward to welcoming all the new children who will be joining us in September but will be sad to say goodbye to our Y6 children who will be making their journey to secondary school.

Another initiative which was started back before Covid was the Adopt a Grave project. If you feel so inclined to spruce up a grave or two, please give us a call!

Our lovely village church has a very extensive graveyard with in excess of 250 headstones dating back to the mid nineteenth century. Many of these are neglected and forlorn and could use a bit of TLC. Here is an opportunity for you to get involved, Adopt a Grave and transform it to its former glory!

FUN FOR ALL THE FAMILY!
