Communication Board update

November 8, 2017 User deactivated Leave a comment

Please have a look at our communication board within the cloakroom this board changes weekly and offers key information and tips on aiding your child’s speech and language development. I have attached new information regarding speech sound development and this information is available in booklet form within the yellow folder attached to the communication board please feel free to take one. Our top tip is still adding on a word to your child’s sentences and I have attached a new poster linking to this to our board. For further information please have a look at our communication board. Thank you Miss Clark.

Thank you to our visitor!

P5a would like to kindly thank Mr Johnson (great uncle to Kyan and Ryan) who visited our class today. With him he brought lots of medals, information and models to teach us about his father’s experiences during WW2.

We would also like to thank Mrs Gallagher (mum of Kyan and Ryan) who helped us to organise this visit.

The children very much enjoyed listening to this talk and asking plenty of questions.

Have a look at some pictures below.

Donations Please

November 7, 2017 Mrs Cotton Leave a comment

In the ECC we go through lots of liquid soap, hankies, wet wipes and kitchen roll. We would greatly appreciate it if parents/carers could donate at least two of any of these items please.

To prevent us running out of storage, we ask that only Blue and Purple group parents donate just now and we will ask the other groups to donate over the year.

Thank you

Could all parents please double check their child’s nursery jumpers as some have gone missing which have names on them. If there has been a mix up could you please return jumpers to the ECC. Thank you 🙂
