*Natural History Museum*

8th October 2015
We will be visiting the Natural History Museum next Thursday 8th October. Children
need to come into school as normal. A pack lunch will be required. Permission slip will
be available shortly for you to sign. Thank you.

The children have participated in circle time this week. We have discussed how we
should behave around school and towards our peers. The children have formulated
their own class rules. They will sign up and agree to keep these rules to ensure the
class runs smoothly and learning time is not lost.

Kind Regards,
