Well done for a fantastic afternoon of sport last week. Thank you to all the grown ups who came to support.
Thank you also for all the lovely baby photos. We had a lovely time together talking about how we had changed (some more than others!) If you still want to send some in you can. We didn’t quite get to see them all so we will carry on this week.

- Could you please make sure children have a change of shoes suitable for PE in their PE kits as most of our PE will be outside this term. Thank you.
