We would like to wish all our families a very Happy New Year. We hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful cards and gifts that we received. We were overwhelmed by your generosity and really do appreciate your kindness.
As we enter our Spring term we know this is the term that we really see the children's early skills start to develop. The children begin to start decoding words and early writing starts to emerge, please support your child by ensuring you hear your child read at least 3 times a week. This really will make a big difference in their progress.
This week we will be starting our topic on Traditional tales with the story of "The Little Red Hen".
The children will be talking about the concept of helping each other to get a job done and making bread ,watching the changes that occur.
In maths the children will be returning to their favourite 10 town to learn about the teen numbers.
In Read,write inc the children will now work in small groups according to where they are up to with learning to blend. This will help the children to progress at their own level.
We will be starting our P.E sessions again on Thursday so please ensure that the children have their P.E kits back in school ready for their lesson. Please could you check that your child has the right P.E clothes in their bag as we do have some missing items. Maisy Sayers in Barbados is missing a whole bag so we would appreciate you checking at home for us. Thank you.
