Teacher's Message
Welcome back to a new school year.
My name is Sarah Plews and I will be the new entrant teacher this year.
The children are settling in well into classroom routines and they seem to be enjoying their first days at school.
Just a reminder our library day is Friday.
We swim on a Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Our topic to begin this year is about ways we keep safe at school, forming positive relationships and healthy foods.
In a few weeks the children will have the opportunity to make a healthy sandwich at school and the parents are welcome to join us on the field for a picnic.
Any queries feel free to see me before or after school.
regards
Sarah.
