Weeks nine and ten...

I have amalgamated photos from weeks nine and ten as I was away from school for week nine and Mrs Lawrence kindly taught my lovely class. She took a few photos from week nine - the most important pictures - our new children on visits and I have included these in this Blog. Most of the photos are from the week just gone, week ten. I hope you enjoy them and will forgive the brevity of comments.

It is GREAT to be back on board and with my class now I am fully recovered.

We joined with Room Two for our introduction to Kelly Sport. All children took home a 'flier' about Kelly Sport, an independent optional sports activity after school, I think there are a total of 8 sessions next term which children can join once the fees are paid. Our taster session was great fun with Michelle and Nathan.

Ben started school on July 8th - welcome Ben!

Our class won the 'We Care' award - we keep our classroom and cloakroom clean and tidy.
