What a fantastic start to the year we've had in Starfish Class! The children are settling in well, exploring our indoor and outdoor provision with curiosity. They've been busy building new friendships, working together, and learning about our class rules and routines. We're so proud of how confident and happy they are alreadyit's going to be a wonderful year ahead!

Sharks enjoyed a Book Blanket during their first day back at school. This allowed children time to browse a range of books available to them in the classroom and complete activities to discover their own and each other's reader identities. We searched for books with appealing covers, books with interesting facts and books that would make us laugh or think! Now the Sharks are ready to begin their new year reading journey.

Sharks had a fin-tastic day last week in Hemsby. We took the public bus to the village and visited Richardson's for a go on the High Ropes before playing on the beach and cooling off with an ice cream. Then it was back to school for a pizza party and games!

A Big Thank You from Sharks! Sharks would like to say a huge thank you to Richardson's Hemsby Beach Holiday Park for kindly letting us enjoy some shade during our lunch yesterday, and to Bebe-Rai's for serving us the most delicious whippy ice creams – free of charge! Both gestures made our end-of-year trip that little bit cooler and a whole lot more special! Thank you so much for your generosity and support we truly appreciated it!
