Inside will be a fun weekly activity to complete with your child, linked to the learning that has taken place that week. The children are given two reading books every week. These should be shared each evening with a comment made in their reading record. These books are changed once a week. Please ensure you bring in your child's book on the correct book change day which will be given to you by your class teacher.

Star of the week

On Friday, we select our class 'Star of the Week' with the help of our class bear, who has been carefully watching the children learn. The star of the week will be addressed in assembly and be given a postcard to take home. They will have their name on our website and newsletter too.

It was great fun having workshops from Chartwells, riding a smoothie bike and fitness classes with Mr Hall and Miss Phillips. Take a look at some of the photos of the week below:
