Reading
Please try and read with your child every night for 5-10 minutes. Really focus on asking questions about their book as this will help them with their reading comprehension.
Finally, if there are any questions or concerns please feel free to speak to any of us before or after the school day.
Keep in touch by checking our page often.

Building relationships
Sometimes its just the quiet moments of building a shared structure that can encourage such lovely friendships. The language, smiles and co operation that takes place fosters positive relationships and gives each child a sense of belonging.
Shapes
Today we have looked at 2D shapes. The children identified the shapes and then went into provision to find them. We discussed not being able to pick up a 2D shape and that we would need to draw round these for them to be a true circle or triangle.
‘We Remember’ 11 November 2025
Today we remembered the brave soldiers who fought in the wars. The children watched a CBeebies animation that sees war as experienced by animals in a field. The children have also loved making their own poppies using playdoh and buttons and pastels.
