Open on Monday
The weather has improved dramatically over the weekend, so we will be open as usual tomorrow. There is still strong probability of heavy frost, so make sure you wrap up warm and mind your step walking in. Let's hope that we've now had this year's dose of disruptive weather!

Friday Closure
The weather forecast overnight is for exceptionally cold weather (-9 c), given the amount of slush that is going to freeze under those conditions, we will not be able to get enough staff in to operate safely. The forecast for Saturday is for much milder weather, so we are fully optimistic that we will be able to open as usual on Monday.
We apologise for all the inconvenience that this decision will undoubtedly cause, but we hope that in deciding early, it will make it easier to arrange childcare.

We are closed!
Unfortunately, the snow last night was worse than expected,and we can't get enough staff in to operate safely. Update to follow later.

Daisy Dip: Success!
Hearts sank on Tuesday as we learnt that the Daisy Dip bid had missed out in the popular vote to a project in Portsmouth for the 'People's Millions' vote. Friday, however, brought better news- a phone call from Meridian TV asked us to get down to Daisy Dip quickly, and a film crew were there to record the presentation of the cheque for most popular runner-up project.
This is excellent news for the community, bringing about a much needed facility for the area, and the whole process has been highly educational for our children who have been involved throughout- learning that participation in the community brings its own rewards, and that determined people, working together, can bring about real, positive change.
Pictured here are some of the children who worked on the project, along with Mr Cappleman, parent governor and a huge driving force behind the bid. Well done everybody!

Daisy Dip Project
Last year our Year 5 children (This year's Y6) were involved in a project to improve Daisy Dip- a neglected and underused local area. Today is a very important one for our community- Daisy Dip goes head to head with a Portsmouth project for a £48,000 National Lottery Grant to improve the area for our children and all the local community. Please support this bid if you can!
You can vote, but only until midnight: 0871 626 8861
You can also see the report featuring our children on 'Meridian Tonight'. Fingers crossed!
