- We would be very grateful if you have any clean tomato/salad cream/mayonnaise squeezy bottles that we can use for paint.
- Things to do, to support your child...
- Keep reading with your child.
- Your child would really benefit if you could continue to recap their phonics and maths skills over the summer as children often take a step backwards if they have too much of a break. Encourage them to write lists and postcards and have lots of fun!
The children loved visiting their new classrooms and teachers this week. They seem very excited about the move to Year 1. We hope you enjoyed open evening.
This week was Cultural week and because it coincides with the Tour de France the children have been learning all about France. The week started with an assembly explaining a little about the race, including the different stages and coloured jerseys.
The children went to all the classrooms/teachers over the week to complete a range of activities.

The 'Tour de Crabtree' obstacle course was lots of fun. The children swam across the Channel and went through the Eurotunnel, over the Pyrennes, over the Alps, across the bridge (over the Siene) and finished at the Arc de Triumph.
The Ducks cheered the Robins on and the Robins cheered the Ducks on!
