We are so excited for a fantastic year ahead with Seal Class, who have all settled in wonderfully to their new class.

This term we will be finding out about space and our solar system and have lots of exciting activities planned! This topic will include learning about the moon landing and building our own moon buggies! If the children have anything related to this topic that they would like to bring in and share, please encourage them to do so. Towards the end of September we will be taking part in activities relating to Harvest, in class and as a whole school.

Our PE days this term will be Wednesdays and Fridays. Please make sure all your child’s clothes are clearly named.

If you need to catch up with us about anything we are available before or after school or you can email the office to arrange a time to meet.

We are also setting up a "nature table" in the classroom, any signs of autumn such as conkers, autumn leaves etc would be gratefully received!

We are hoping Orlando the reading owl will be flying to Seal class on a regular basis - please help by hearing you child read 5 times a week.
