Tomorrow is our last day! I will make sure I am around to see pink team when they come in and I will drop in to chat to them about their new class for September. Thank you again for all being so supportive. You truly have been an AMAZING class and you will catch me in your Year one class all the time. There is no getting away from me that easily. I will do another video for you tomorrow showing you where you will drop off and pick up in September. We would have usually had a practice run but due to everything going on we wont be able to. I will also be around on the children's first day of year one as my new Reception children do not start until the following week. Any questions or if you would like more bug club books or work for the summer then please let me know and I can give you some. Miss you all lots and please please please stay in touch. :)

Every day, Tallulah has come home with a smile & stories from school. Every day, she has LOVED school. For a small kiddo, it's been a big year, becoming a big sister and smashing the job!  Learning and enjoying everything about school and then being locked down from it, she's taken everything in her stride! We're very proud of her & all of our friends! Always be yourselves!! 💗💗

# data[].attributes.body
Our listening was amazing today, especially in RWI when we were listening to alien words and blending them! We heard some funny words like glick and gack! To end the day we played pass the parcel and we each won a prize!

I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend. We are trying to revamp the outside area and add some lovely natural plants. If you have any plants, flowers or cuttings that you would like to donate then please bring them into school as we can plant them together and put your name next to it.
