This is the last week in school before we break up for Easter. The week will be full of Easter activities . E.G. Easter bonnet parade, Easter egg hunt ,cooking Easter cakes etc...
We finish on Friday and return to school On Tuesday21st April.

Several children will be moving to the reception class after Easter and the staff would like to wish them good luck and to say it has been lovely to have watched them develop during their time in the nursery class. It has been a pleasure to have taught them . A huge thank you to the parents for their support.

Hope you all have a very Happy Easter.

A note from Miss Mathias. 11.3.09

Thank you to all the parents and children for their home tasks. We have displayed them in the classroom. Please come in and have a look. If you have not sent yours in yet please still do as we have lots of room to display them.

This weekend some children have new Jolly phonic letters in the homework bag. Book 3 letters. Please still practice book 1 and 2 letters. (letter sounds, recognition and writing of letters.)

A big sorry for putting the tree house in the cloak room. I sometimes think i have good ideas.
I think i must have lost some weight this week bending in and out of the tree entrance.

Remember RED NOSE day Friday. Wear something mad
