We are now halfway through the academic year! We hope all of our parents and families had a wonderful half-term break and are ready for the next 6 months, working together to achieve the very best for our children.
We would like to wish all of our families observing Ramadan and Lent this next few weeks a very blessed and peaceful month.
Our new catering providers were on hand with some tasty treats to sample at Learning Together Day. Our new provider is called Educaterers and they will be taking over from our current provider after Easter. On the 16th March they are bringing Eddie - the catering van to school at the end of the day so that parents can sample some of the new food on the menu.
Thank you to all parents who came along to our Learning Together Day. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet the teachers and talk about the progress children have made so far this year and what next!

The great news is that these skills grow best through everyday conversations at home—no special equipment or expertise needed!

The more children practise speaking and listening in a relaxed, familiar environment, the more prepared they are for learning in school.
Here are a few simple ways to support speaking and listening at home:
