Room 4 - missing jacket

Good evening,
We are looking for a boys black waterproof jacket that may have been accidentally taken home today after being picked up from the infant playground at lunchtime - this will be labelled with a child's name (initial A). Please could this be returned to school tomorrow if you find this in your child's bag or have noticed that they wore the wrong jacket home today. Many thanks.

Kind regards,
Mrs Alexander.

Homework Delayed - Sorry!

Due to many interruptions and a shelf breaking in our room, I haven't handed out homework today. I will hand it out tomorrow with jotters. I would still ask for it to be handed in on Thursday? 

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Good Morning,
I hope you had a lovely weekend.

This week I am sending home a double sided homework sheet.  The Numeracy task is to identify the next picture in the pattern.  The Literacy task is to identify the two pictures which rhyme.  Please could this be returned by Friday.

On Tuesday pupils will have the opportunity to taste a selection of fruits and vegetables inspired by The Hungry Caterpillar.  Please contact the office if you do not wish for your child to take part in this activity.

Our PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday.  Please make sure your child has appropriate clothing and footwear to take part.  Jewellery should be removed or earrings covered over.

On Thursday you are invited to visit our class to work with your child from 2:00-2:40.  We will then dismiss the class at 3:00 from the gate as usual.

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Have a great week,
Mrs Stevenson
