- Tuesday 21st April - Yr 1 Community Garden visit
- Friday 24th April - Yrs 1 & 2 Disco
- The first week back is Week 2 on the Spring/Summer menu.
- Reading books - You may notice your child sometimes brings home a reading book they've had before. It's not an accident! Revisiting stories they're familiar with can help your child develop comprehension and prosidy (reading with expression) - a step on from just decoding the words and key to reading for pleasure. You can help with prompts such as "What is he thinking?" or "What might happen next?".
Please make sure that any messages about your child's attendance - illness, absence, appointments, early pick-up etc. - are given to the school office, not just to their teacher.
You can either drop in to the office or contact them by
