Dear Parents and Carers,

Thank you for coming to stay and play today. We had a lovely time and hope you did too.

On Monday the chicks arrived! All the children were so excited. We had one hatch on Wednesday and arrived on Thursday morning to see that 5 had hatched overnight. Only 1 more left to hatch! We have been writing about what has been happening with the chicks and are looking forward to holding them next week when they are stronger.

Our trip to the Look Out Centre in Bracknell is on Tuesday 1st July. If you are able to join us on this trip please let Beccy or Hayley know. Thank you!

As the weather warms up we’re going to be outside more without our jumpers on. Please make sure that jumpers have names in them! It is also a good idea to make sure that your child has sun cream on in the morning before coming to school and comes in with a named sun hat.

In our PE lessons this term we will be going outdoors. Please ensure your child has a pair of trainers to wear. Our PE days are Tuesday and Thursday.

Phonics

We have learnt 4 new tricky words this week. They are: there, when, what and one. Yesterday we sent home another tricky word sheet including this week and last week’s words. Please practise these at home along with the earlier ones learnt as we are finding that the children have forgotten some of them. Please continue to practise all the phonemes we have covered.

FLUFFY Friday

Next Friday 23rd May it is FLUFFY Friday. Please wear home clothes.
