Learning Focus

This month, we will be focusing our language and communication. The supporting learning leaflet is “ Questions & answers” which can be found on the noticeboard in the hallway.
Don’t forget to also look out for our hashtag on social media #snapslanguage to see what we get up to!

Our book of the month is Peace at Last by Jill Murphy

Halloween

Thank you to all the families who made a huge effort for our Halloween Party! We had so many parents and siblings come and join the party which was great to see! There were so many amazing costumes, it was just too hard to pick best dressed!!

Sparklers & S’mores

on Wednesday 7th we will be holding out annual Sparklers and S’mores party. We ask all parents to join us from 4:30pm onwards to come and have a fun night around the bonfire. We will obviously be outside so remember your warm winter jackets!
