Letters Home!

Reception went on a local walk to Well Street. The children wrote letters to their families during the week and posted them home on the walk. They also went to the bakery and Tesco to buy ingredients for sandwiches, which they made in the afternoon. Well done to all of the children, who behaved exceptionally well on their first trip outside of school. Thank you to the adults who were able to join us, our trips would not be possible without you!
