Good morning,

This week you will have noticed that we have not sent the red homework folder home. This is so you can get used to the phonics wallet and reading books that we sent home earlier this week. We wanted to allow you time to work on a routine for reading the books and looking at the sounds daily with your child.

Homework is ready and packed for next week!

Thank you

Mrs. Thomson

This week the hippos have been busy making friends, exploring our school and finding their feet at school. They have been brave, adventurous, kind, good fun and caring to one another.

We hope you enjoy the following pictures from our very first week together.

What a wonderful start! 

Today the hippos had a good look around school - just like Pete the cat in our story. I wonder if your hippo can remember the song that Pete sang as he went around his school?

We had fun in the hall this morning doing our exercises (this Tuesday morning session is called Squiggle and wiggle) The hippos had lots of energy which has made us very excited for PE in the morning.

Other things we enjoyed today were singing number songs, eating our dinner in the hall, playing out, seeing our friends and family in school, having toast together and being kind helpers for Mrs. Thomson and Mrs. Morrison!
