Cross Fell can't wait to get started on their book Advent calendar!

We love to share our love of reading and the excitement we have each day when we unwrap a new book to share makes our daily reading session even more magical :-)

Middle Fell have had a marvellous time hunting for and classifying invertebrates in our local area today 

We were really surprised to see Fred’s new clothes when he challenged us with some new sounds each afternoon this week!

We are trying really hard to learn our sounds and are noticing an improvement so please do keep up the good work at home and Fred will keep challenging us in school.
