Happy New Year Dragonflies!

Welcome back to our new term; I hope you’ve had a relaxing and fun-filled Christmas holidays. We have a jam-packed term ahead – please see our new plan below which shows the breadth of learning we will be doing through our in-depth exploration of this term’s topic: Polar Explorers.

Today we’ve welcomed a new pupil to class, Jack, who all the children were excited to meet.  In other information for the term, PE will continue to be on a Monday and Tuesday but please ensure kit remains in school for the week. As a reminder, homework is usually given out by Wednesday each week and is due in on the following Tuesday. Daily reading at home with an adult and daily multiplication tables practise is invaluable to every child’s learning and both will be a focus Spring term. Thank you.

Christmas Party – food contributions

Just to clarify that children should be bringing a contribution of party food to share (only small amounts as they will already have had lunch). We’re aware that there was some confusion at home time today and we are not doing ‘own plates’ this year; please stick to plans in original parent letter.

Also please make sure children bring their party clothes with them to get changed at lunch time.

Thank you!
