Welcome to Class 8.

Hello Class 8. Welcome to our class blog.

I hope that you all had a lovely Summer holiday and that you enjoyed your first week in Class 8. I am really pleased with how the children have settled, both in their new class and also in their new area in the school. We are helping each other to get used to all the new things around us... and I think we are all managing quite well! The children are sharing their time between the class, outside (weather permitting!) and the shared area, where Mrs Porter is helping them to get used to their new routines.

Hopefully you all received our plans for the term today. Reading books have started to go home and by the end of the week all the children will have taken their books home. We are hoping to go on a couple of walks over the next week, so if you could make sure that your child has a waterproof coat with them each day, we will try to grab the next break between showers to take them out and about looking at homes in our area.

Our Goldilocks and the Three Bears home corner is beginning to take shape. The children have already made the wallpaper and our 3 different size bowls are being made this week. We have also had a very kind offer of a play kitchen for the classroom so the children will be able to make that porridge "too hot, too sweet and just right"! If anyone has any unwanted costumes,or children's bedding that we could use in the corner, we would all be very grateful.

If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to come in to see me at the end of the day. I am always happy to listen and will help whenever possible.

Best wishes

Mrs Utting- Lawson
