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.

Thank you, as always, for your support!
