A wee reminder that gym day is a Thursday. A few children still require gym kit. Please check if you are unsure whether or not your child still has gym clothes in school. It has been known for them to be worn home by mistake!!

Many thanks to the parent helpers who joined us on our visit to the library. We had a great time listening to the 3 stories that have been selected for The Book Awards and then got to choose our own books to take back with us.

In Science we have been exploring texture using a range of different materials. Lots of interesting words, such as ‘shiny, rough, bumpy, stretchy, smooth, fluffy, soft and hard’ were being used to describe what textures we were feeling.
