Hello Squirrels,
I hope you have had a lovely weekend!
Our learning behaviour of the week is: 'Work hard' and our value is 'Thankfulness'
Our words of the week are 'observe' and 'texture'.
Reminders:
| Monday |
PE & Forest schools - Please wear outdoor PE kit, jogging bottoms, t-shirt and a jumper/jacket with trainers. We would really like the children to have a pair of wellies that can be left in school as we will go outside in all weathers. Please make sure all earrings are removed for PE.

| Wednesday |

| Friday |
Homework due Copdock 150th Year celebration - where we will travel back in time to explore school life in Victorian times. Children need to come dressed in simple costume, maybe even a chimney sweep or maid. Ideas here. Children will be lined on the playground in the morning to complete their hygiene check so make sure they wash their hands and nails thoroughly before coming to school! We have an exciting week planned with lots of activities for the children to do in preparation, then on the day we will have donkey rides, sandcastles competitions, make peg dollies, perform Maypole dancing and more. To support the day we are asking for a contribution of £2 per child, payable via spider. Online payments will close on Thursday 25th at 3:30pm. Thank you
Special tea towels are also available to purchase to celebrate our wonderful school, with each child's drawing of their face printed for all to see. (see attached) Why not buy as a Christmas gift for a family member... £4 each! Tea towel order form on Spider.
If anyone has any sandcastle buckets we could borrow for the day, that would be great!
