MONDAY 27th MARCH - FRIDAY 31st MARCH

This week...

• Visiting bears - The children have had such a great time taking Mr Polar Bear home that we are going to continue this with the brown bears! When your child brings the bears home, the next day they will be Special Person so they can bring in a favourite book or interesting object! When the brown bears come home, your child might like to show them what you eat for dinner and breakfast and help them have a good night's sleep.

• THE READ-A-NATOR. When your child has read at home, simply hit the button and click your child's class to add a point to their class tally. The class with the most points at the end of the term will get one hour on a bouncy castle in the Big Hall!

• Forest School for children in Victory (purple) Last session on Monday 27 March.

• Readathon - You can still pay in sponsor money on line here:
