Welcome to Room 7/8's blog. We have 19 wonderful year 1 children in our classroom. We think we are super lucky because we have two teachers! Mrs Forsyth teaches us in the morning and in the afternoons Mrs Fairweather teaches us while Mrs Forsyth takes Reading Recovery. Our lovely teacher aides Jody and Ameena help us too! Thanks for visiting our blog...we would love you to leave a comment.

Swimming
Please remember we are swimming every day for the next 2 weeks, starting Monday. It is really important that all uniform items are clearly named. Children will also need their togs, towel (and goggles if possible), all named. It is a good idea for children to have sandals or jandals on their feet during this time.
Oh No!!!!!
Aidyn broke his arm at the end of last term and is due (hopefully!) to get his cast off soon. Sophie broke her arm at the weekend and has just got hers on. They have matching yellow casts!!

Our Little Gardens
Today most of the children will be bringing their Little Garden seedlings home. It is up to each family what they do with them, but if you are able to plant them we would love to know how they get on. There are a couple that we are still waiting on that haven't sprouted yet so they will come home once this has happened (hopefully).
