 What a lovely start to the term we have had.  The children have all settled back in well. Thank you for having all the children in summer uniform.  They must have a school hat every day. Otherwise, they can not play outside as the school rule is NO Hat, NO Play. In level 2, we have no drinking fountains available, so it is also essential the have a water bottle every day. They have also loved their learning, and everyone is very focused.  Please make sure you read every night at home, which helps your child progress in their reading.  You can also work on their alphabet knowledge (both the letter name and sound it makes).   The children have loved being in the pool.  We have been busy creating lots of art for the classroom.  We had read a story about Tiddler the fish and then made art for the class. We also wrote stories about how we can show the school values.  We matched these with bee pictures. If anyone has any spare plastic bags at home, we will take them off your hands as we are
