We are all really looking forward to welcoming you all into Year 1. We hope you are feeling refreshed after summer holidays! In our first week we will be spending lots of time getting to know the children and settling them into their new classrooms.
On Monday 23rd September we will be having a WOW Day to launch our new topic ‘Beegu and Me’. The children are invited to dress in clothes showing what they might want to be when they are older or just clothes that they feel special or comfortable in. We will be looking at ourselves and what makes us special.
We will be aiming to read with all children over the first 2 weeks so please send book bags in everyday.
Class Teachers
Daffodil Class: Mrs Hibbard (Mon-Wed) and Miss Quinn (Wed PM-Fri)
Mrs Stockford will be covering Miss Quinn until she returns from maternity leave
