Sorting Books

It is a real team effort when it comes to returning the reading books to the resource room. First each child sorts their own books into the correct colour piles and then groups of 5 or 6 put all the same titles together and bundle them up. Then a kind parent comes along and returns them into the correct boxes back in the resource room. Many hands make light work!

Buddies

We are lucky to have our buddies each Tuesday for 30 minutes. They help us with all sorts of things. Last week it was a sunny day so we got out the skipping ropes. We improved a lot but I think we still need some more practise.
