Reminders
Reading Books
If you took a book pack home for the holidays, could you return it on Monday please.
Water Bottles
Remember to bring your water bottle and make sure it has your name on it.
Fleeces & Thermals
Please make sure these are named clearly. 
This makes it much easier for everyone to find their own and for Rach and her helpers when they give them out at the end of the day!
Library Day
Our class Library day is Wednesday.
News
This week will be a 'free' news week and we will start our classroom News in week 2.
This was very successful last term. Your confidence, oral language and presentation skills grew so much. We are going to continue to build on this for Term 2.


Getting Organised
Remember... It's your job to pack your bag and make sure you have everything for school!

  • You need your reading folder every day.
  • Remember to pack your Poetry book - we need them on Monday!











We don't need hats this term.
