Please sing this well known Nursery Rhyme with your child and try out the Makaton. When singing nursery rhymes or familiar songs with your child try missing out the last word in each line and wait for the child to complete it for example… “Row, row, row your……”
Just a reminder that choir is on a Tuesday at lunch time (1:00pm) in the music room. All children are welcome to come along but they must attend every week. We will be singing lots of Christmas songs.

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.
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
The Mini Council have been working hard deciding how to raise money for the charity Children in Need.
As a group we have decided to collect old, round pound coins as part of ‘Pudsey’s Round Pound Countdown’, if you have a round pound coin at home we would be grateful if you could donate it to our collection by giving it to Miss Caldow.
On the week beginning 13th November the Mini Council will be selling Pudsey merchandise. Based on our survey we have decided to go with Ears for £2.50. These will be sold at lunchtimes in the gym hall. In previous years these have sold quickly so be quick to avoid disappointment.
On Friday 17th November children are invited to dress up in spotty/Pudsey clothes at the cost of £1 which should be given in cash to their teacher on the day.
We are looking forward to seeing how much we can raise and if we can beat last year’s total of £623.90!
Thank you for you help and support!
