Well we made it through the first half term. We are so proud of all our children, families and also our Team for successfully completing the last 7 weeks. We want to say a huge “thank you” for all of your support in these very difficult times. We know that a few of our children are still not with us but hope you have felt part of our class through the activities on Dojo and also through the Zoom Circle Times and Assemblies. We very much hope you will be back in school soon. Our children as always have risen to the challenge and worked incredibly hard in face of all of the uncertainty.

We’ve had a really god last week including continuing to explore “The Gruffalo” story in the Caterpillar Garden and also spending a day in the Yurt.

We enjoyed listening to the story outside where we met the different characters. We then split into small groups to build the three different homes – Fox’s underground house, Snake’s Logpile house and Owl’s Treetop house.

On Friday we spent the whole day in the Yurt. What a great day we had and even had our lunch in the Yurt. We danced and sang, played musical instruments and also played games using the lycra.

And sadly we also said “Goodbye” to our lovely Jess who left us on Friday. We will really miss her but very much hope we will stay in touch and when it is safe to do so, link up with her new school, Gibside. We wish her and her family all the very best.

We hope you have a safe and peaceful half term and look forward to seeing you on 2nd November.

Babs, June, Jess, Sue, Louise and Ann.
