Happy Home Learning
Thank you to the families who have already sent in their family photographs. Our family tree is blossoming nicely in our role play area. We would love to display photographs of all our families. Please could you bring to school a photo of your family with a little note of everyone’s names? Please enjoy reading stories together at home and remember that our gold sticker book collection is available at the beginning of every session. We would love to see all our children with a book bag and choosing a gold book everyday over the next week.

Could you please label your child’s shoes? Often several children have the same style of shoe which makes it difficult for staff to identify which little feet they belong to. Also, we are in need of spare underwear, socks and tights for if anyone has any suitable that they do not need any more. Thank you
