Christmas Fair

The Christmas Fair is on Wednesday 12th at 2.15pm.

Last week the children worked together to create these fantastic Candy Cane Mice to sell at the fair.


At 50p each they are an absolute bargain and they are all looking for a new tree to hang from! I know that the children are all hoping to buy one, so if you send 50p into the class with your child, they can reserve a mouse before the fair. The other mice, along with the Christmas gift tags will then be sold at the fair on Wednesday afternoon.

Reading Game

Here is a link to a great game where your child has to read a question and then decide if the answer is yes or no. It is good for checking that children are understanding what they are reading.
Begin with Level 1 and move up the levels when your child is ready. Encourage your child to sound out the words and then read the questions.
Enjoy!

Attendance Prize






                                                             We are the champions!
Because we won this term's attendance race, we enjoyed a special treat on Friday afternoon. Miss West arranged for the lovely people from The Showroom on Tritton Road, to lead some very fun activities for us!

We listened very carefully to the instructions on how to play Jedi Dodge-ball.

We had lots of fun!



'Human Hoopla' has to be one of the funniest things to watch! The children enjoyed playing it too! 

   


It was very exciting to have a go with the Nerf Guns!

Well done for the great attendance, let's see if we can win again next term!
