The Learning theme after our Christmas break will be ‘Thank you’.

If you have not yet provided a named (with your name) stamped addressed envelope, please can you send this in either tomorrow or on the first day back on Wednesday 4 th January 2017. Yesterday, in your child’s wallet you will have found a consent form for the walk to the post box. You will need to complete this and return it to school before Thursday 5 th January 2017.

During the Christmas holiday to support your child’s learning and development please share lots of books and play lots of games. Please share the games you play on the board games blog, you will find this on the normal challenge blog page.

If your child is in Foundation 2 (Reception) they will have had a copy of the Humpty Word Wall assessment. Please continue to support your child with learning to read and write these words, just a few minutes a day will make lots of difference.

We will be collecting in the target sheets during the first week back, if you have not yet completed them, please add in your comments about how your child has been getting on.

In early January you will receive photos that show highlights of your child’s learning journey so far.

During the first week back we will be talking about our favourite presents and writing our thank you letters. We will then be posting them to you on Friday 6 th January. When you receive your child’s letter please write and send a reply back to your child via the school. We will then read these with your child with their permission.

Thank you for all of your support this term. We hope that you have a wonderful Christmas holiday and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year.
