Week beginning 22nd June
This will be a challenging week for all of us! Please send your child with a water bottle and we will keep refilling them throughout the day. Hats and sunscreen will also be very helpful, but we will be keeping the children in the shade as much as we can. We will try to keep […]
Week beginning 15th June
Looking forward to some slightly sunnier weather this week! The children did a great job learning a poem last week – it was called ‘Hatching’, which seemed appropriate, and they will have a chance to perform it in assembly on Tuesday. Speaking of which, hatching chick is obviously quite an uncertain business. Our first lot […]
Week beginning 8th June
Thank you so much to those parents who came along on the trip and were so good-humoured whilst getting drenched!!

We will be continuing lots of short bursts of phonics practice in school, and will send […]
Week beginning 27th April
We hope that you are all enjoying the unexpectedly gorgeous weather! The children have been really enjoying their playtimes this week. If it carries on into next week, we may need to be thinking about water/hats/sun screen rather earlier than usual… The class photo, which was taken on Monday, is up on the window by […]
Week beginning 20th April
