Transition children have been learning about “2 and 3D shapes” and have set up a shape station to explore the properties of shapes. They have discovered lots of new vocabulary, have had a shapes hunt in the classroom, played related games and created associated pictures.

Thank you
A huge thank you goes to you all for supporting our “Cake Sale” on Wednesday in aid of Reuben’s fight against cancer. I donated £250.00, which we had raised, around 4 p.m. that day on his “Gofundme” site! Not sure what happened to the message to him from us all but at least the money has gone through. I must also say a big thank you to Mrs Freeman’s mother who braved the cold to give me invaluable help on the stall.

Reminders

• We hope that you enjoyed the emailed observations of your children over the half term and we welcome any comments. Remember that we have an open door and are more than happy to discuss progress.
• World Book Day is on Friday 3 March so if the children would like to come in wearing a simple costume representing their favourite book character that day it would be lovely.
