P2 Dean Trip Tomorrow

Hi folks

Just reminding families that P2 are walking to and from the Dean tomorrow morning.  It’s to be wet so make sure appropriate clothing is worn and send them with a change of shoes,  trousers and socks just in case they get very wet.

No money needed. Just carry a snack and drink.

Thanks

P2 Homework

Just to let you know, P2 pupils were (or will be) issued with a reading book for homework.  They should read, discuss, hunt the word, sound out words etc over the week.  This will be issued every Tuesday.

There are a few games and books under each child’s Bug Club account which hopefully they will be able to access too.

Reading books and any other homework issued  should be returned each Monday.

Thanks

P2H Get Silver Award

P2H were issued with their bronze and silver certificates in the RSPB Schools Challenge 2018 having completed 12 activities relating to nature and preservation of the countryside.  All the P2s took part in some way or another over the last few weeks.

P2 Trip to Eglinton

A fab day with the P2s at Eglinton.  We were doing a scavenger hunt, bug and flower hunt before spending fun time on the play park.  No complaints from anyone regarding the choice of venue.  Everyone seemed to enjoy it.  Thanks to the extra parent helpers and friends who came along to aid the shepherding.
