It is hard to believe that this is our final week of the first Autumn term! The children have had such fun settling in and we are very pleased with how well they have adjusted to life at school. Also, we would like to thank you for your co-operation and support this term. All our combined efforts have ensured a smooth transition for the children.

We look forward to the next stage in your child’s learning journey with us in Autumn Term 2 which starts on Tuesday 30th October 2018. Please note that Monday the 30th is an INSET day for staff and the school is not open to children on this day.

Wishing you all a restful half term.

Kind regards,

Miss Pillay. Mrs Crooks, Miss Thompson and Mrs Carden [/dropshadowbox]

Letter and word hunt (print in the environment)

Which letters and words can you see on your way home? Ask your adult to help you write some of the words you see around you. You could also find words you recognise in magazines or newspapers. You could cut these out and stick them in your book eg. names of shops/places you visit eg. TESCO McDonald’s, etc
