A very warm welcome to lots of new children and their families this term: Ayesha, Aiza, Is-haaq, Ayrah, Anisa and Aleeza. Everyone is settling in well.

Last term we really enjoyed our visit to Chellow Dene Reservoir where we experienced the changing seasons and interesting wildlife. The children particularly enjoyed feeding the ducks!

We are now really looking forward to some sunshine and lots of fun outdoors. As always we would encourage you to get out and about locally with you child as often as you can, to experience all the sights, sounds and smells of the city and our wonderful parks, woods and nearby countryside.

We hope that those of you who were lucky enough to go away on holiday over the Easter break had a wonderful time. Don’t forget to email us some photos for your child’s file. We would also like photos of things that you and your child have been up to at home – any significant milestones or achievements, current interests or special family moments are all perfect!

Please check your child’s basket to make sure we have plenty of nappies, wipes and some spare clothes – thank you.
