Christmas Party
We will be having a Christmas Party on Tuesday 20th December. We will provide all the food and drinks along with lots of fun and games. Your child may bring a Christmas Jumper to school (named please!) to change into in the afternoon for the party.
Learning Challenge
Each half term we will be setting our pupils a challenge related to their learning. We believe that it is important for us to provide guidance for parents on how their children's learning can be extended at home.
The learning challenge will include either a nursery rhyme, famous person, illustration or a piece of music. Please talk to your child about the challenge and help them to engage in their learning. The children can choose how they present their learning challenge outcomes to their teacher or class.
