 Week beginning 20.11.23 What a busy week we have had!! On Tuesday we had the pleasure of watching the Strings Recital, I was amazed with how well we sat through it, The children did a brilliant job of watching, asking questions, answering questions and at the end of the leader came to me and said that she amazed by how well Class 1 sat and that they were a credit to me! I am so proud of them all!! :) We have been busy this week exploring habitats, finding out what birds need to eat and how to handle them after their homes were destroyed in the storm!

The children have settled back into school life and have been such a joy to teach. This next term always seems long as the days get darker and we seem to have a lot more to do, but we will have a brilliant time! This week the children have loved using some new resources, such as the light up boards to write on, the octos and the wooden blocks. It has been great to see their imagination through the use of these.  Trainee Teachers This week we have welcomed two trainee teachers into Class 1.
