****We need newspapers for our first week of Term 5 . If you could keep them over the holidays and bring them in when we start back. Thank you****

Noticeboard

• We are looking forward to welcoming you to our Year 1 Performance this week. You have hopefully been able to sign up for a performance on either Wednesday 6th April and a second on Thursday 7th April at 9:30am. Speak to your class teacher if you have any queries. Please still be mindful that arrangements may need to change if required due to any new COVID restrictions.
• Friday the 8th April is the last day of Term 4 and the children can wear their own clothes and bring in a donation for FHIS. This is also the same day as our Egg Rolling Day!

• You will find below a grid showing the sessions to be taught each week. They do not exactly follow days as each class has different sessions due to support and PE times being different but it allows you to see the week as a snapshot of sessions. 
• We will always aim to get outside, whatever the weather, as much as possible so children will really need a waterproof coat each day.

Thank you for all your support this term. We hope you have a safe and fun Easter break.

Term 5 Starts on:
Monday 25th April 2022
