Summer Term message from Mrs Mason: 

A warm welcome to all our new children and families to St Thomas'.  The Early Years team are looking forward to settling the children into school routines and helping them make friends.  This half term we will be learning about Me and My Community and Exploring Autumn. We will be going on  Wellington walk every Wednesday, welcome lots of visitors from the community and be starting our early reading in with phonics.  Our class Author is Nick Sharratt and we will be sharing lots of his books as well as listening to lots of Number Rhymes and Nursery Rhymes. If you have any questions at all, please ask and I will do my best to answer asap. Thank you for all your support in advance, Mrs Mason
