Sharing time

In Year 1 our Sharing Time focuses on our love of books and achievements. This replaces Show and Tell. If your child has a book at home that they would like to share with the class at the end of the day, please do send it in with their name written inside. 

Similarly, if your child has an achievement, such as learning to ride a bike or receiving a certificate, badge or medal from a club outside of school we would love to celebrate this with this whole class.
