Starting on Tuesday 29th September
Children come into school wearing their sports clothes and suitable footwear.
If your child wears earrings, please remove them each week before they come to school as we are not allowed to take them out.
Thanks!

From Monday 21st September, your child will bring home a sheet of homework on most days. Please could you sit with your child and complete the homework each day (if possible).
Please try to ensure that your child forms the letters correctly by following the arrows.
These sheets can then be kept at home for you and your child to revisit and keep practising regularly.
We would love to see photos of your child doing their homework uploaded onto class dojo!
Thank you,
Mrs Hotchkiss and Miss Golightly x
Could we please remind parents of our start time- 9:10am
and our temporary finish time- 11:50am (For two weeks)
Please try to arrive as close to 9:10am as possible to avoid hanging around in the yard.
Today went very well and all of the children had a great first day!
Thank you so much for your cooperation and understanding at this difficult time.

Please could parents bring a mask to wear during their visits this week.

The Healthy Minds Team have produced some advice for adults including parents and carers during this time of isolation and uncertainty. There is also a pack dedicated to children’s mental health. It certainly is worth a read.
Ivy loves stories just as much as you all do!
I would love to see some pictures and videos of you all sharing your own stories. Ivy would enjoy that too! 😃
Miss you all!

Carol is offering free maths tuition. I tried to access the site and it recommended that I try again tomorrow due to the number of people trying to access it.
Might be worth a look!

A huge thank you to all of the parents, carers and other family members who came to our Nursery Christmas Craft day.
We had a fantastic day filled with lots of fun and even more glitter!
The children thoroughly enjoyed having their family members in nursery with them.
Merry Christmas!!
