Starting with a Well Done!
Monday Afternoon
FOREST SCHOOL
 We are aiming to visit
Well done to the
class for the last
week before half
term. The class did
a brilliant job
cooking. They were
able to organize
themselves, follow
the instructions and
produce some great
results.
This half term has a
lot of busy days to
cram in. We have an
Enrichment day
about ‘Water’ coming
up and National Book
Day comes in March.
Finishing the half
term with an Easter
service.
This half-term we
are looking at Poetry.
Poetry can be very
personal choice so if
any pupils or parents
have a favourite
poem, poet or poetry
book they would like
share with the class
then it would be very
welcome
Finally, as we will be
spending time in the
Forest then any
parent volunteers
would be greatly
appreciated. Please
come in to chat with
me about it.
Regards,
M.Kidd.
