Thank you everyone!

 

We would just like to thank all of our fabulous families for the lovely gifts, cards, hugs and kind words. We have had a fantastic year together and know that the children are ready for Year 1, where they will continue their learning journey at Down Hall. 

Whilst the children are off to pastures new, they are also taking Mrs O'Connor, Miss Langley and Miss Bridges with them. Miss Wakefield and Mrs Fincham will miss them all, but know that we will still get to hear about their new adventures!

We hope you all have a fantabulous summer and we look forward to seeing you all in September. Please remember the children are due back on Tuesday 2nd September.

Thank you once again for your kindness and for trusting us with your lovely children this year!

With all our love,
Miss Wakefield, Mrs O'Connor, Miss Langley, Mrs Fincham and Miss Bridges xxxxx

21.07.25 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone! 

It is hard to believe that we are coming to the end of our journey together and that soon the summer holidays will be here! Last week we took in the children's reading books and we will be sending work home from Monday. There is not much else to say this week, just a few notices.

Upcoming Date

Tuesday 22nd July              Wellbeing day and whole school picnic


Final day arrangements
Don't forget that on the last day of term, the children can come to school wearing comfy clothes. We are also having our picnic on the field with our families from 12-1pm. The children will need to come in at 1pm for the register, before then going home for the start of the summer holidays!

See you in the morning, 
Love
Miss Wakefield, Mrs O'Connor and Miss Langley xxx
