We hope you have had a great summer and are looking forward to the fantastic year we have ahead of us! The teacher in Red class is Miss Holttum, in Yellow class it is Ms Vasques and Miss York will be teaching in Orange class. Please can you make sure all school uniform, including coats are labelled.
This makes it so much much easier to track missing items; although not always found straight away, we usually get there in the end 🙂 Red and Yellow class have PE on a Tuesday. Orange class have PE on a Wednesday. Please can you make sure your child has their kit in school when needed.
We advise the children to keep their kit in school and then take it home over each half term to be washed. This year we are going to be working really hard on our attendance and punctuality. It is a really important year and every day counts in helping us move our learning forward. If your child is not in school it means they are missing out.
Please help us to ensure they have the best attendance and learning opportunities possible.
