Star of the week 

We know that taking the class bear home is a big part of being star of the week for our reception children.  As we are not currently able to give out the bears we would like our stars of the week to choose a special teddy of their own and create a weekend diary of the adventures they have together.  This diary can be submitted on the Evidence Me app/website or by emailing it into school.  Some photos, a description of what they have done together and maybe a little bit of supported writing from your child would give them something to share with the class, in just the same way as they have done with the bear diaries. Please remember to only submit this through email or Evidence Me.
