Year 1 Polar Express Trip Tuesday 16th December

We are extremely excited to be going on the Polar Express Trip on Tuesday 16th December. Next week we will start reading the book and learn that the main character goes on his adventures in his Pyjamas. To avoid extra bags in school, children are able to come into school wearing their Pyjamas and they do not need to bring in their book bags. They will also need to ensure that they are wearing comfortable and suitable outdoor footwear and also have a warm, waterproof coat. To get us into the festive spirit, we also ask children to wear a Christmas hat to complete our festive outfit.
Many thanks The Year 1 Team

Wednesday 3rd December
