Today we had a visit from Mrs Hough who is a veterinary surgeon.  Mrs Hough talked to us about what a day in the life of a vet is like.  She explained how she gives injections to pets and showed us different sized syringes.  She also showed us lots of different x-rays that she has took and she dressed one of our children up as a vet.

The treat of the afternoon was when she introduced us to Tortuga, her tortoise.  Tortuga is Russian tortoise and he is 8 years old.  The children loved her! 

As part of our topic 'People Who Help Us' we visited Manchester Airport.  Despite the weather, we had an amazing time.  We took turns playing in the flight deck, we all dressed up and took part in role-play activities.  We even saw Concorde!

I would like to thank all the parents who came along to help us.

On Tuesday Class R were very excited when Captain Campbell came to give us a talk about his role as a pilot at Manchester Airport.  He told us all about different aircraft, how to fly the planes and where he flies to.  Captain Campbell also took our own Class Ted on the flights with him, where he met all the cabin crew - lucky Ted!

Cleo was chosen to dress as a pilot and she really looked the part, well done Captain Cleo!

We had a great time at the Walled Gardens making scarecrows.  

We also helped to make a large scarecrow that we brought back to school and he now lives in the garden near Class R.

On Friday 16th we welcomed our parents and grandparents to come and experience having lunch in school.  It was very well attended and almost everyone commented on how delicious the meals were. 

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

We had a fantastic time watching the production of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  Thank you to all the children for excellent behaviour and great participation during the workshop. 

A very warm welcome to you all!    

I know this is a very special time for you and I am really looking forward to getting to know you all.  

We have an exciting and fun packed year ahead of us.  

I'm sure we will all have a great time learning and making new friends.

I hope you will be very happy in Class R.

Just a few things to note:

• Fresh water and milk are provided each day and your child can access drinks any time during the day, so no water bottles are needed
• The home link book should be kept in your child's plastic wallet and returned to school daily
• Soon your child will bring a reading book home, along with a reading record book.  Please comment in here every time you read with your child
• Could you please ensure your child's purse, uniform and PE kit are clearly labelled with their name on
