Whole School Message - Book Fair
Dear Parents/ Carers,
Next week, the Scholastic Book Fair will be visiting both sites from Tuesday to Friday inclusive; in Dormice Class at All Saints and via Seahorses Class at Woodhurst. All children will have an opportunity to visit the Book Fair during school hours and it will be open to purchase books after school until 4:15pm each day. Books can be purchased by cash on the day and all sales made help the school raise money towards the books we buy for children to use at school.
This year we are also running a school-wide Book Review competition. Children have until Monday 11th to read a book and write a short book review to hand to their teacher. To help, children will be coming home with a template this week, but examples are attached below on the documents section. Nursery and Reception classes may be completing theirs together in school. Mr Riordan and Miss Etheridge will judge all of the entries and 10 children will receive a £5 gift voucher which can be spent at the Book Fair!
So get reading, get reviewing and get into a book! We look forward to seeing all your entries and seeing you all at the Book Fair!

Woodland Walk
Dear Parents/ Carers,
Thank you so much for offering your support for our Woodland Walk. I was delighted with how many of you volunteered to help out! Therefore I thought it was only fair to take responses in a ‘first in’ manner. I have made contact directly with parents who can support so if you have not heard from the office we will not require you on Tuesday but thank you so much for your kind and generous offers of time - there will be plenty of opportunities throughout Year 2 where we might need an extra hand so I will keep you all in mind!
Kind regards,
Miss Etheridge

Welcome to Dormice Class!
I hope you all had a fantastic summer holiday and are ready to learn in our exciting first term together in Year 2! This half-term our topic is 'Once upon a time...' We will be looking at lots of our favourite traditional tales, including writing our own version of Little Red Riding Hood. In Maths, we will be consolidating and furthering our place value knowledge alongside addition. Our topic will allow us to take a woodland walk as we begin to look at mapping skills and deepen our scientific understanding of living things and their habitats. In ICT, we will be learning to touch type as we publish our stories. Our Art and D&T projects will focus on making, including lunch boxes for Little Red Riding Hood and medicine bottles and potions to help make Grandma better! In RE we will explore the creation story.
