[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”lifted-both” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#fab5f7″ border_width=”1″ border_color=”#dddddd” ]Dear Parents, Carers

We would like to invite you to join us for our Reception Sports Day and picnic lunch on Friday 13th July. Please bring your own packed lunch and send one in for your child.

Please note that with only two weeks to go until the end of your child’s year in Reception, we will not be issuing any further reading books this week. Instead, reading books and diaries will be collected on group reading days.

We will continue to check word lists until the end of this week. If your child has not completed all 24 lists, they will continue with these into Year 1. Thank you for your overwhelming support with practising with your children to achieve their animal word certificates this year. It has been wonderful to see this impact on their progress with reading.

Kind Regards

Miss Pillay [/dropshadowbox]
