Noticeboard
Wednesday 19th July – Year 1 Toy Museum Day
Next week we will be having a special day to talk about toys through history. Each child can bring in a toy special to them. We are also asking for you to talk to your child about games that you used to play on the school playground. You could extend this to grandparents too! You could teach them how to play them. You might want to create a list together. James Brand will be coming in this week to kick our thinking off – talking to us about the sustainability of toys and giving us a questionnaire to complete.
Please return any school and library books that you may still have at home. We are continuing to collect them in before the summer break. No more books will be given out now.
This week: Annual Reports will be sent home on Wednesday of this week.
