It’s hard to believe that the children have been with us for half a term already! The time has literally flown by. We are very pleased with how well they have settled into school and forged new friendships.

Thank you to all the parents who have now signed up to Tapestry. If you have not done so yet, please check the email you provided for an activation message. Please check your Junk Mail folder as well.

By the end of this week we will send paper copies of log in details for you to access Google Classroom, where you will find further messages and homework tasks.

Please note that the last day of school for children is Thursday. The children will be on half term break from Friday 23^rd to Sunday 1^st November.

School re-opens for children on Monday 2^nd November.

Kind Regards,

The Reception Team
