A Big Thank You
Thank you very much for all of your very generous donations on World Book Day. The children had great fun choosing books to bring home and enjoyed teaming up with other classes in the afternoon to read and listen to stories together.
Mother’s Day Family Breakfast
Next Friday, 10th March, the PTA are putting on a Mother’s Day Family Breakfast (not just for mums!) between 9.00am and 10.30am. You can come along and enjoy tea/coffee, toast/pastry with your child at any time during these hours. Cost is £3 and unlimited places can be booked through Eduspot in the ‘Shop’ section.

New Early Reading Approach
A great start has been made to our new early reading approach. The children in those classes are enjoying their learning in phonics and reading each day. This week we have sent home the sharing story for you to enjoy reading and discussing with your child. From next week we will add to this the reading book which they are working with in school.
With best wishes,
Mr J Gordon
