Thank you to everyone who attended our Parent Evenings last week it was lovely to meet you. If you were unable to attend please contact us via email to arrange a 5 min meeting after school.
This half term our main story book is Paddington. We are looking at his clothes this week. Please can you send wellington boots in with your child from Tuesday so that we can have some fun stomping around the playground. DO NOT buy any if you do not have boots at home - we'll have some spare. We will only be using them for a couple of days and then they can come back home for the weekend. Thank you.
Please feel free to email the class teachers Miss Wood and Mrs Willis if you have any questions or concerns.

Curriculum Information
Common Exception words for the children to read, write and spell.
Relationships and Sex Education info...
Over the course of the year, our school will be delivering the Relationships and sex education (RSE) aspect of our PSHE programme. This programme is designed to help children make healthy choices and keep themselves safe during their school years and beyond. RSE has now become a legal requirement therefore all children are required to participate in lessons. The design of the programme has taken into account the requirements of the statutory guidance, up-to-date best practice guidance, and the needs of our children.
The lesson coverage can be found in the RSE/PHSE planning overview throughout the year and in ‘Journey in Love’, an RSE Unit that is covered in the Summer Term.
Any questions, please ask.
