Y3 will be making their own mood boards tomorrow. If the children would like to bring in any magazine clippings or photos to add to their mood board this would be great. If they do not yet have their items ready do not worry as we will add to them throughout the term. School will provide lots of craft items for the children to use if the children do not bring anything in.

Thank you

I hope you are having a wonderful Easter break.
During Summer 1 Year 3 will be thinking about careers and jobs.
It would be amazing if you would like to come and talk to us about your career.
We would like to have a number of different careers covered so children can see the wide range of jobs that could be available to them in the future.
If you are interested in coming to talk to us please let myself or Miss Howsam know.
Thank you,
Miss Collins

If your child is attending Reading club and the school disco I will stay with the children between 4.15 and 4.30 so you do not need to collect your children between reading club and the school disco.
Hope this helps :-)
