Thank you to all parents who came to our ‘stay and play’ session. The children enjoyed sharing their classroom and learning with their families. It was lovely to see such a large number of you.

Reading Books
Each Thursday the children in Class 1 will bring home a class library book. This will be a book of their choice and they will need to bring it before the next Thursday to change it for a new one. These books are for you to read and to talk about with your children. You can ask the children questions about the story and discuss their favourite part or character.
Throughout the term as your children become more confident with their phonics reading skills we will be giving out reading books. It would be helpful if you could please sign your child's reading record and write a brief comment to let us know how they get on.
