Liz,

Thanks for the message, I would love to see a close up picture. We are in the midst of redesigning our front office and I think it is such a cute idea.

Popping in for a visit might be tricky as I am working at the American School in Mozambique!!!

That’s why I love this internet based community of sharing so much, it doesn’t matter where you are!

Thanks again,
Jackie

Thanks for that Jackie.
Putting the tree together was really quite simple. We acquired a small tree trunk from the local gardener and placed it onto the floor standing upright. We then stuffed tan tights with newspaper to make the branches. We have leaves big enough to display the acheivement on hand and stickers that say “I’m on the good news tree because…………” They are placed in polly pockets and are accessible every day. If you give me your email address I could send a close up of the tree to give you a better idea if you wish or alternatively please if you can pop into Cathkin and see our work. We love visitors.
Good Luck with this.
Kindest regards
Liz Mercer

Liz, This is a stunning display and such a great idea of developing home/school partnerships.

I would love to know the ‘how to’ of putting together such a tree. I think it would be wonderful to build in the front office of my primary school during the summer so it’s ready to start off the year. If you could give me a quick lesson, I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Thanks Angie
We love this too! Our children, parents and staff are all part of the good news tree and what’s lovely about the tree is that it celebrates good news outwith the nursery ie. children who have previously left to go to school come back to visit and bring their school work and certificates for us to pin on our “Good News Tree”.
The wider community are involved also.
Thanks again for your comment.
