Reception
Hello Acorns!
A few things to take note:
Please keep your red books that you have been working on at home and bring them to school with you in September for your new teacher, Sakina to see.
In September you will be in Sequioa class and your school day will begin at 8.45 and end at 3.10. Your entrance will be Elsham Road gate.
Over the summer holidays, the phonics folder and the silly songs folder will remain on the website, below the weblinks, if you wish to use it in the summer holidays, but do please remeber to take advantage of the break to enjoy the sunshine and spend some time having fun!
Below is a letter from me to the children. Have a read and do look out for us to say hello when you return to school in September.
Best Wishes,
Gilly
