[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”raised” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#fcc2dd” border_width=”1″ border_color=”#dddddd” ]Dear Parents,Carers

Welcome back to school!!  We hope you have had a restful May half term break.

It’s hard to believe we are in the final term of your child’s year in Reception. This is a very busy term with lots of fun activities for the children. It is also an important term as we begin to prepare the children for their transition to Year 1 in September.

You can help by talking to your child at home about change and growing. This is something we will also focus on in class. We will be doing a class project about their development and how they have grown. So we ask if you could please send in ONE baby picture (0-12 months) of your child.  Please send a copy or if you send the original we will make a copy and return the original. We will also return any copies we make. Please send in by Monday, 10th June. Please send in a named envelope.

There are also several fun days to look forward to this term: Coach trip to the farm; Sports Day and the Summer Fair. More information about dates and times will follow in due course.

We look forward to a wonderful final term with you and your families.

Kind Regards,

Reception Team
