Open afternoon 20.10.26

Ahead of our Parent Consultations, we would like to invite parents and carers to come into Year 1 on Tuesday 20th October at 2:40pm to spend some time celebrating your child’s work and achievements with them.

We look forward to welcoming you into our classroom and sharing in this special moment with your child!

Many thanks,

Miss Carey :)

St Francis of Assisi Retreat Day

Next Friday (2.10.26) we are having a St Francis of Assisi Retreat Day. To begin this day we will be having a lovely class prayer service in which we will be dedicating to animals. Please send your child in with a picture of their pets (if they have one) and we will add these to our prayer table.

Please also send your child in with a smooth, flat stone as we will be doing some stone art.

Many Thanks,

Miss Carey :)

Free read Friday!

This Friday, we will be introducing Free Read Fridays!

Each Friday, children will have the opportunity to bring in a text of their own choice to enjoy during dedicated reading time. Our aim is to promote a love of reading and reading for pleasure, allowing children to explore texts that genuinely interest and excite them.

Children can bring in any type of text they enjoy, such as:

• A story or picture book
• A magazine
• A comic or graphic novel
• A non-fiction book
• A poetry book
• Any other age-appropriate text they enjoy reading

We will be dedicating some valuable time each Friday to simply enjoying books and reading for pleasure. We hope this will encourage children to discover new interests, share their recommendations with friends and, most importantly, develop a lifelong love of reading.

Please ensure that any texts brought into school are age-appropriate and clearly labelled with your child’s name.

We are really looking forward to starting our Free Read Fridays!

Thanks,

Miss Carey
