We thought it would be nice to introduce our staff team.  Here are the current members of our class team.   Class teacher, Loveday leads a support team made up of Frances, Clare, Toni, Sarah, Angela, Jenn and our lunchtime assistant Sam.  We are looking forward to a new staff member joining us next Monday. Holly will be an exciting addition to the team.

We have enjoyed a very physical week in class.  Lots of cycling and physical fun.

We would like to share with you some of the fun we’ve been having this week in our Play Space.  We are lucky to have a space attached to our classroom which we call our Play Space.  It is used in lots of ways.  The room is set up with a construction area, mark making area, malleable area, book corner and problem solving area.  Children enjoy child led play and exploration with the support of specific adults.  All we do is play I hear you say?  The short answer is, yes all we do is play.  However, play is such an important skill for our children.  While they play they are making connections, trialing, experimenting, exploring, developing relationships, problem solving, becoming independent, watching results of our actions, developing skills, sharing, communicating.  Here are some photos of what we do best in play space….

Next Wednesday is our Harvest Festival Assembly in school.  We are asking for kind donations of food to be collected for the Newcastle food bank.  Many thanks in advance.

Have a super weekend everyone.
