Thank you so much for your reading over half term. We have given out this week’s reading books/ sheets today. Please can you return the old ones if you haven’t already. We will be carrying on with the new swap book day: children to return the books on a Friday and new ones given out on a Monday.
We are so excited for our new half term and the children’s lovely imaginations are full of wonderful ideas.
Well done for your amazing reading this half term! We hope you have a great time with the reading challenge, we can’t wait to see where they read (please see our website for details).
With our new reading scheme the home books match the guided reading book we read that week in school. So that your child has reading material relevant to their group we ask that you keep the books that they have had this week to continue to build up their fluency and confidence over half term. We will be getting their next books ready for the first Monday back, which will match our guided reading books and activities for the first week. They will also have chosen a book to share with you. As a challenge they could even spot the sounds from their book bag books in the sharing books.
Happy reading and have a lovely half term holidays,
Miss Parker, Mrs Wootton, Mrs Unsworth and Mrs Crow.

This will be starting from next week. Please can you ensure any outstanding books are returned by this Friday, 21st May.
Many thanks for your support,

Dear parents,
Following the phonics assessments over the last couple of weeks some children are ready for books. Your child will either be continuing with the ditty sheets or be starting on a book. These will be given out on a Friday, please return on a Thursday. The sharing books will continue to be changed on a Tuesday and Friday as often as you require.
Many thanks for all the work that you have done with your child over lock down and that you continue to do.
Many thanks,
Miss Parker
We would like to invite the children to a ball on Friday 12th March! (Please keep it a surprise for tomorrow – as we will be handing out proper invitations!)
The children are allowed to come to school in their favourite party outfits. These could include: princess dresses, school shirt and trousers, best tops…the list is endless.
We felt that as they have worked so hard during lockdown that they deserve a treat. Not only have they written an invitation and written instructions on how to get ready for a ball, but they will also be designing a menu this week! We hope that this will be something lovely to look forward to on Friday!
Please remember that they will be dressed in these outfits all day, so make sure they have a coat and sensible shoes.
We just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you have been doing at home with the children. It has been lovely to see their work and to have kept in touch!
We hope you have a wonderful weekend and please let your children know: school will be as normal from Monday.
See you soon,
Miss Parker, Mrs Wootton and Mrs Unsworth
We are so excited to have everyone back in and it is looking like a busy busy week!
Monday – Beatrix Potter day
Tuesday – PE day (please make sure they will be warm enough as it will be outside, weather dependent)
Wednesday – normal day!
