💙💛❤️Amazon Wishlist 💙💛❤️

We’re delighted to launch our new TMS Amazon Wish Lists! We’ve had lots of parents ask how they can support the school by donating resources and equipment, so we’ve been working with our wonderful teachers and staff to put together lists of things that the school genuinely needs or would really benefit from.

There’s something for every area of school, with items across a range of price points:

Nursery - https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/ENC9ZUPWLIET?ref_=wl_share
Pre-Prep (Reception to Year 2) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/2I5MY8ONOJMT8?ref_=wl_share
Pre-Prep Aftercare - https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/275RIUDYS3NUE?ref_=wl_share
English aids (Pre-Prep & Prep) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/2K00J4BLN1M13?ref_=wl_share
Forest School - https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1LJU6VIOIUM0B?ref_=wl_share
Sports - https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1L0R4D63XALMN?ref_=wl_share
Music - https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/33B2YU6Z2PFUL?ref_=wl_share
Art - https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1XTSOJPIXWVBL?ref_=wl_share
School Clubs - https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1JHLIBUUYB9F6?ref_=wl_share

Every item has been suggested by the teachers who know our children best and has been chosen because it will help enhance learning, creativity, opportunities and everyday life at TMS. If you would like to support the school, simply choose an item from one of the lists and purchase it directly through Amazon. It will be delivered straight to school and put into the hands of the children and staff who need it.

There is, of course, absolutely no obligation to buy anything - but if you would like to make a contribution, this is a really simple way to make a direct and meaningful difference. A huge thank you to our staff for taking the time to identify what would be most useful and to all our TMS families for your continued support of FOTM and the school. Every item purchased will help us to do a little more for our children, and that’s what FOTM is all about!

🌿 WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🌿

Our Forest School is nearly ready to open, and we’re now looking for a good volume of wood chippings or bark chippings to create a safe, natural floor around the building.

The Forest School structure is now complete and the finishing touches are underway, but we need your help to get the floor finished ready for the children to start using it in September. 🌳🪵

If you’re a local tree surgeon, landscaping company, garden contractor or have access to wood chippings or bark chippings that could be donated, we would be incredibly grateful.

Please get in touch if you can help or if you know a local business that might be able to donate a load. Please feel free to share this post with anyone who may be able to help.

Thank you so much for helping us get this amazing new space ready for our children! 💚🌿

Looking for wood chip for our Forest School!

We are still looking for a large volume of wood chip for the Forest School floor. If you're local and have any spare, or know a tree surgeon or company who may be able to help, we'd be incredibly grateful.

Please contact us to arrange drop-off or collection.

Every donation, big or small, helps us create a fantastic outdoor learning space for our children. Thank you for your continued support! 🌿🍂

We're almost there! Our new Forest School is really starting to come together, with the green corrugated roof now starting to go on. We're hoping to officially open it during the first week back in September. 🌿

To help us get over the finish line, we're looking for:

🪨 Hardcore
🪵 Logs of all shapes and sizes
🍂 Wood chip

If you have any of these available and would be happy to donate them, we'd be incredibly grateful.

Please send me a message if you can help. We can arrange collection, or you're welcome to drop items off at school.

Thank you so much for helping us create this wonderful space for all of our children. 💚

With the wide range of events we run throughout the year, we need quite a lot of equipment to make them happen!

This August we're giving our storage space a much-needed clear out and reorganisation, and we're on the lookout for storage boxes.

Ideally we're looking for:
📦Clear plastic storage boxes
📦With lids
📦The bigger, the better!

We'll happily give any boxes a new home, even if they don't quite match our wish list. It's amazing how much space coffee cups, plates, bowls, glasses, decorations and event props can take up!

If you have any storage boxes gathering dust in your garage, loft or shed that you no longer need, we'd be incredibly grateful if you could donate them to us.

Thank you so much for helping us keep everything organised and ready for another fantastic year of events!

FOTM ☀️
