Autumn Term message from Mrs Mason: 

 The Early Years team would like to warmly welcome all the children and their family back to school ready for our Autumn Two learning. This half term we will be  learning all about Traditional Tales and Celebrations.  We will be learning about 2D shapes and numbers 4 5 6 7 8 9. We will be learning all about Christmas and taking part in our own school nativity. We are having a brand new outdoor area built so we will be learning how to use all our wonderful new resources too. Thank you for all your support in advance, Mrs Corinne Mason
