what a fantastic end of the week!

Well Mrs Way is typing this blog in her pjs! I'm shattered! what a fabulous, fun-filled day we have all had. I think i can safely say that everyone had a lovely day in Parc Play. I know i had lots of fun climbing the giant slide and what brave children we have because it was very high! hopefully I'll be able to update with some photos on Monday. Thank you to all the parents, Nans and Grampys who were able to come and share the day with us.

Hopefully you have all had chance to read through the topic web and information sheet that was sent out this week. As you can see our topic this term is 'in my little garden'. We're going to be spending alot of time outdoors so please make sure your child has a sunhat in school (even if its cloudy in the morning). If you find that you have any spare pots, compost, plants etc at home please let us know.

You may have spotted a new area in the school grounds, our pond. It has been finished thanks to the hard work the PTA put into fund raising, A BIG thank you to the PTA team, I'm sure we'll make great use of the area.
On the same note, can we also encourage the children to bring in some coins for our PTA fundraising event, where we are going to collect coins filling a jar and then do a coin flower or mini beast on the yard. It will be a whole school effort in placing the coins.

hope you have a relaxing weekend and we'll see you Monday.

World Book Day

Hi everyone,

What a fantastic sight this morning! thank you for all your hard work, we found it hard to recognise all the boys and girls in their fantastic costumes. I'm sure Mrs Mertens had some funny looks driving to school dressed as a tiger! We all enjoyed a parade around the junior yard and received lots of claps from the rest of the school.
After lunch we had a very big surprise - Iggle Piggle came to visit us!! we had lots of fun playing games and having lots of cuddles and Mrs Way has already been to Tesco to print out the photos ready for Monday.

Quick update:
Language & Play will be held in the hall this week ( Tuesday 1:15-2:15pm), please go to the main door to gain access.

We hope you have a lovely weekend & we'll see you Monday

Welcome back!

Hi!
We hope everyone had a lovely Easter and the Easter bunny came to visit you all.

A little bit of a rocky start to the term for Mrs Mertens class due to the ramp being repaired but a big thank you to all the parents for being so understanding and hopefully it won't be for much longer.

We'll be sending home information regarding our summer topic shortly but in the mean time our topic is 'In Our Little Garden'. We will be looking at plants, flowers, mini beasts etc so if you have any items you think will be useful please could we borrow them?

A few things to remember:
- Language & Play sessions start on Tuesday - please check class notice boards for a reminder of time & 
  location.
- Our trip is on Friday 20th May. If you haven't already paid, can you pay as soon as you can & each child
   needs to be accompanied by an adult.

Also we hope the children off school with chicken pox are starting to feel better and we can't wait to see you back in class.

Mrs Way & Mrs Mertens
