Year Three Showcase

Thank you to all of the adults who came in for the Year Three showcase. We hope you have learnt lots about South America and enjoyed having a go at writing your own Limerick. You all did a fantastic job during the quiz. Well done to the winning team ‘The Three Musketeers’.  

Reception Role Play

The Hillside Post Office is now open for business in the Reception classroom. The children have been learning to write letters, wrap packages for posting, weighing a variety of parcels and even completing their car tax forms. We are expecting lots of creative language and acting over the next few weeks.

Children took part in a variety of activities to develop awareness of this important issue and to help them understand how to deal with different emotions.
