We are all very excited about the year ahead!
We know that starting school is a huge step and our aim is to create a calm, friendly and fun environment to ensure your children settle well.
Please check this site regularly. We will put lots of lovely photos of your children on this class page.
Following the book review 'We're going on the bear hunt', our little chefs have helped baking teddy bear shaped cookies. We organised a tea party, where they could bring their own teddy bear and taste the delicious cookies altogether.
