The mystery has been solved! Last week 6 beautiful little ducklings hatched from the eggs which arrived last Tuesday. They will spend their final week in Chelsea Class and return to the farm on Friday so please come in and visit, preferably at the end of each day this week.

The children will have their class and individual photos taken on Tuesday 7th May. Please ensure they are in full school uniform. If they are in summer uniform, please send in their school jumpers too. Also just a reminder that only black school shoes must be worn.

Please remember to check the weather each day and dress your child appropriately for the weather. On warmer days your child may wear their summer uniform and please provide a sunhat or cap as the midday  sun can be quite harsh.

Kind Regards

Reception Team [/dropshadowbox]
