Please note that we break up for the summer at midday on Friday 19th July.  We will return on Thursday 5th September.  We would like you to take all of your children's belongings home for the summer holidays to allow us to clean and tidy.

You can draw numbers on the pavement and ask your child to sit on a number such as 5, 2 6 etc, this will help children learn to recognise numbers. Play with blocks and Lego and ask the children to stack them ve...
