The class will be covered by Mrs Saunders and Mr Boardman on Thursday mornings.  

Please ensure you bring your reading diary and reading book to school every day.  

Other helpful reminders:

Water bottles- Labelled and not to be kept in book bags please.

Book bags- Please send them to school daily.   

Our library day is on Monday

As the weather changes, please ensure your child has a coat with them every day.  We will be going outside for a lot of our learning.  If the children have wellington boots we will change them from school shoes so that they can enjoy being outdoors without the fear of wet feet!

We have talked about learning how to put on and take off our coats independently. 

We would appreciate your support with this.

***Please upload photographs to Tapestry if you wish to do so.

We look forward to sharing all the activities that your child does at home. ***
