Reading Super Stars ⭐️
These children blew me away today! Not only did they read their new text beautifully but they managed to read all their words including the tricky words to play our game!
Keep it up – Mrs Parsons xx

Paddington Bear Painting
We have started thinking about our new expedition as part of our hook week. We solved the clues to find out that our ‘person’ we are going to be learning about first is … Paddington Bear! We read a great story called Paddington’s Easter Egg Hunt. We then spent time this afternoon sketching Paddington and using watercolour paints to complete our art work! We can’t wait to share our finished pieces!
Technical Problems
Unfortunately, we are experiencing some technical difficulties with our phone lines and internet connection. This means we will not be able to answer the phones or pick up any voicemails so if we could ask that you report any absences via email on [email protected] or message Mrs Bradshaw on Class Dojo. Please do not inform teachers directly as these may not be picked up.
Our technicians are working hard to resolve this issue and we are hopeful a solution can be reached tomorrow. We will keep you updated.
Thank you.
Spread your wings and fly!
The children have loved watching our tiny caterpillars grow and change over the past few weeks. Today we got to watch, as the butterflies took flight for the very first time. It was a magical moment…
New Food Friday!
Following our visit from Mrs Wilson, the dietician last week, we have decided to try a new food each Friday. This week some of the children have tried houmous for the very first time. It went down a treat…
I wonder what will be next on our menu?
