Term 2, Week 5

What busy times we've had! We enjoyed our Rooster Booster session on Monday (none of us are anywhere NEAR tall enough yet to be out of our booster seats…) and we loved our visit from Valanga Khoza on Tuesday. We talked about and named the different parts of our bodies, described how different kinds of touch make us feel, learned about saying "no" to Keep Ourselves Safe, and had a visit from Constable Garland on Friday. It was also fabulous to see so many Room 3 children at lunchtime Jump Jam on Tuesday and Thursday!

This week we enjoy the final session of our Chinese programme, and welcome Constable Garland again for a final KOS visit on Friday (this week we are learning about secrets and tricks, asking for help, and safety rules). Don’t forget – our school cross country is on Tuesday (22 May), and parents are invited to come along to watch us race! This year the course has been set around Birchwood School (for safety and timing reasons), and we’ll be starting out on the field beside the school hall at 11.30am. Please make sure that children are wearing appropriate shoes (with their school uniform, as usual), as the course won’t be suitable for bare feet (there is a bark-chip section over the senior playground). Parents may sit on the hall steps, or with their children who will be seated in class groups on the grass beside the hall (children must remain with their classes).  We are also looking forward to a special fire safety session on Wednesday with some fire fighters from the local station.

Once again we are looking forward to seeing Mrs Fleur Jessop on Wednesday while Miss Driver is on release.
