Mrs Connolly's Storytime!

Click on the book cover to hear my latest story.

It's called 'Dinosaurs in the supermarket' and it's about a band of dinosaurs who wreak havoc in the aisles, but grown-ups can't see them. Can a little boy convince the dinosaurs to behave? Who will mop up the mess?

Maybe you could do your own book review and let me know what you thought of it.

RC Highlights

Performing on the Garden stage!

Counting how many bracelets we can fit on one arm!

Seeing how many rings we can wear!

Helicopter stories.

Our Class Pets - Peter and Poppy the Penguins

Our very own class reading buddy!

Peter and Poppy are our very own class ‘Reading Buddies’ and each of these penguins will be coming home with a child every Friday. They will have a special book too for you to share with your child. We would like you to read the story and then complete a book review ready to share this with the class the following week.

We are very excited to read your book review soon!

This is what our book reviews look like:

Book Reviews!

Book recommendations

Take a look at some of the latest books we've been reading in class and their book reviews.

Why don't you read one and see how many stars you would give them!

Keep Active!

Class RC will be taking part in an outdoor PE lesson once a week.

The children should come to school in their PE kit on the days they have PE. PE Kit only should be worn on these days – please see uniform guidance on the website if you are unsure of what child should wear.

The PE session for Class RC will take place on a Wednesday during the Autumn term.

Need a movement break? Then try GoNoodle!

GoNoodle is perfect for a 5 minute brain break or a full on workout. Just choose which best suits your need or mood.

We love following the GoNoodle dances in class. It's simple to use and free to join. Just ask an adult to create an account and get active!

So many different activities from Guided Dance, Zumba, How To and even calming moves.

Give it a go!

Key Information

Please send your child to school with their book bag every day so they can change their book regularly.

Please supply your child with a bottle of water, clearly labelled with their name. Please fill bottles with water rather than any other type of drink.

Any messages for the day, e.g. a change in collection or a playdate, should be given to the school office or a member of staff at the drop off zone.

Please ensure that all items belonging to your child are clearly labelled, including coats and shoes!
