It is time to say goodbye

                                                   The school year is at an end

                                                   I hope you've had lots of fun

                                                   And count me as a friend

                                                   I have watched you learn and grow

                                                   And change from day to day

                                                   I hope all the the things we've done 

                                                   Have helped you along the way

                                                   It's with happy memories

                                                   I send you out the door

                                                   With blessing from good things

                                                   That next year holds in store 

                                                   Love from,

                                                  Mrs Harris-Griffiths, Mrs Phillip and Mrs Stabler

Creating patterns, writing beginning sound of your name and writing your name

Mark-making is one of the key building blocks in developing early writing. The children will enjoy experimenting with lots of different materials for making marks. They are likely to enjoy using tools such as brushes, stampers and sponges to create patterns and shapes.

The home work this week is to practice writing your name independently or with a little help from your family. It would be lovely if you could show me how to write your name creatively in a fun way. Here are some examples below. Can you practice recognising the sounds of your name, so we can play a game back at school. Please email me your photos by Friday 14th May. I am looking forward in seeing your lovely work.
