Christmas Gift Stall

Christmas Gift Stall is running next week from Monday to Wednesday.  Please check the list below to check which day your child’s class is on.  NB: Since publishing the Newsletter today, Pink Class have been moved from Wednesday to Monday. 

   Monday: Saffron, Pink, Blue, Orange, Green, Purple, Sapphire & Gold

   Tuesday: Cherry, Ruby, Scarlet, Red, Violet, Mauve, Turquoise & Lemon

   Wednesday: Amber, Lime, Emerald, Cerise, Magenta & Yellow

If you wish your child to purchase items, they will need to bring their money (in change please) in a purse or named envelope on that day.  Items range in price from 10p to £3 so, as a guide, £4 to £7 is ideal. For younger children a list of who they are buying for would be helpful too.  Thank you

Best Book Guide for Children 2013

Every year the Booktrust compile the 'Best Book Guide for Children' to help parents know which are the best books to purchase for children.  The guide is divided into four age groups and includes a brief synopsis about each book featured.  It also gives each book two appropriate ages:

Interest Age: The age at which children would be interested in listening to the content but they would probably need the story read to them because they haven't yet acquired the necessary reading skills.

Reading Age: The age at which children should be able to read the book independently although some may require some support.

Also our Newsletter this week includes eleven reasons why books make the perfect gift.  This is very appropriate considering that Christmas is only just around the corner!
