Christmas Movie Afternoon:

The Christmas movie afternoon was brought forward to Monday and I think it is fair to say that the children had a great time! Thank you for all of the kind donations of popcorn and to Storm’s mum for providing enough hot chocolate for all of the children to have a hot chocolate Friday!

The New Year:

The children will start back to school on Wednesday 6^th January.  Parents will still need to adhere to the social distancing rules and the wearing of masks for drop off and collection times,

Pencil Cases:

It has been decided that pupil in Class Two will now be able to bring their own pencil case in from home.  However, once brought in these must be left in school.  The children will be expected to be responsible for their own equipment and they must not share items with their friends.

Topics:

The children will have new topics to look forward to when they come back in January.  These are:

         Class One ~ Daring Dinosaurs

         Class Two ~ Ruthless Romans

Miss Evans and Elaine need donations of toy dinosaurs and matchbox style cars please!  If you have nay going spare and are happy for us to have them, please could you send them in with your child at the start of term – thank you!

Best wishes,

Miss Brian and all Staff
