Just a quick note to say a huge thank you to everyone who made playdough and kindly donated items for our hedgehog houses. Your support really helps us create wonderful learning experiences for the children.
I also wanted to apologise for not updating the children’s reading records today. We’ve been completing phonics and maths assessments so we have up-to-date information ready for parents’ evening. We are so proud of how much the children have achieved in such a short time.
From next week, your child’s reading books will reflect their new reading level, and any changes to phonics groups will begin from tomorrow.
Thank you, as always, for your support!

Here are a few some of the children are doing this week;
