Next week the sound of the week is 'h'.

We will be looking at wild animals next week. If anyone has any story books or non-fiction books about wild animals please send them in named. Thank you.

Thank you for all of your donations of tissues, they are much appreciated!

Some of the children have spent some time in the hall taking part in some exercise and using the soft play. Please make sure your child has their names in their shoes and socks/tights. It was great to see how many of our children can take off and put onput their own shoes and socks. If you think your child struggles with thisplease support them at home to develop this skill. Thank you!
