Dear
Parents/Carers,
We hope
you are having a lovely weekend so far. We have a busy 4 day week ahead;
tomorrow and Tuesday we will be visiting the library and on Thursday we have
our trip to Paradise Wildlife Park. I know how excited the children have been
about our impending trip as we have been doing a countdown for the number of
sleeps left!
Thank you
again for your continued support and cooperation in encouraging your child to
come in to school in the morning independently, it is much appreciated and
will help in their transition into Year 1.
We will
be continuing our learning about the World. This week we will be reading the
book "The snail and the whale" by Julia Donaldson and continuing our learning about other
countries in the world and identifying rhyming words.
A little
reminder Wednesday is our PE day, please ensure your child has their named PE kit in school. We
have a lot of lost property accumulating in school which cannot be returned to
their rightful owner as they are unnamed.
With our
expected heatwave this week please ensure your child comes to school with a sun
hat, sun cream and water bottle. For our trip on Thursday please ensure your child
is dressed appropriately for the warm weather and they have
enough water to keep themselves hydrated.
If your
child has needed a change of clothes, could you please ensure these are sent
back into school as we now have no spare clothes in school!
This week
is Week 1 of the Havering catering services. Monday's choices are:
Red- Pork
sausage with mash potato
Blue- Tuna and sweetcorn
baguette
Green- Cheesy leek pasta
