Mrs Davies will then teach the live sessions of Maths and Phonics to all children after Move and Choose until 10.10am.

We planted pumpkins, so hopefully when you are all in Reception next year we will have our very own to make pumpkin soup in the Autumn! Did any of you start to grow a plant at home? Do let me know.
