Knowledge organisers showing what your child will be learning this term are now on our website. These show what the children should know by the end of the term (half-termly for Pearls). This is a great opportunity for parents to support this learning at home.

Information about your child's class and the parent welcome presentations can also be found on your child's class page which can be accessed by clicking the buttons below.

Each half-term the children can earn reading rewards for reading at home or in our free reading school clubs. In school reading clubs are worth 3 reads each and can be booked via Arbor with the other clubs. There is a reading club on a Wednesday lunchtime too for those who cannot stay after school.

Reading reward levels for this half-term:

Bronze - 21 reads

Silver - 28 reads

Gold - 42 reads

We would love it if reads could be uploaded to Seesaw or Tapestry ideally as a video so we can hear your reading and get immersed in the book too. If you have any difficulties with this please see a member of your child's teaching team.

We are continuing our learning about our bodies and our bones. This week we have lots of Halloween activities planned, including out trip to pumpkin picking on Friday and our Halloween party on Thursday afternoon (Halloween costumes optional) If you would like to book in for either of these sessions as extra, please contact the office.

Friday 24th October

• There is a little Halloween disco on Friday too if you would like to bring a Halloween costume

• We are displaying family photos in our home corner and will be discussing them over the next half term. If you would like to send in any family photos and photos of your house it would be much appreciated.
• Please let us know if your child will be joining us on our pumpkin picking trip. We hope as many Little Pearls can join us as possible even if it is not one of their usual days. There is no additional cost for this trip. For those attending car seats are encouraged and can be dropped off with your child that morning.
