| Message from the Head Teacher:
Dear Parents
As you can see we are trying out slightly different formatting for the weekly bulletin so I hope it is helpful for you having the diary dates and reminders at the top.
Thank you all for coming along to the Bear Hunt story trail this morning – I hope you enjoyed it. The Bear Hunt is a story that the children have got to know really well, through many and varied activities this half term, and they all seemed to enjoy sharing the experience of bringing it to life in the garden. All the photos this week are from this morning’s session, so I hope you enjoy looking at them.
Bob the Bear! You may also have noticed that Helen Alderton, our school photographer, was taking some pictures of the Bear Hunt event. We are hoping to put these on the website if we have the appropriate permissions. The children have been very interested in having Helen in their classes this week and are fascinated by all the lighting equipment that she brings with her. She is really good at helping children to relax when they are having photos taken. She brings her toy monkey along with her when taking photos and it often ends up on her shoulder, or head, as she snaps away making the children laugh at his antics. We will be sharing with you the details of her website and links so you can order the photos directly from her if you wish. They are kept very securely, and once everyone who wishes to, has ordered, they are deleted. Helen takes both individual and class group photos.
The Really Wheelie trail event next week is also a fundraiser for us. If you would like to make a donation to our school fund by way of sponsoring your child complete the course please do. Any money raised will go towards replacing our wooden wheeled toys in the gardens which the children love. They are over 20 years old and starting to break.

| Medical Update: We have had a case of worms in the Centre so please check your child for these and treat them with medication if you find they have them. |
| Some of the Learning this week
All of the photos this week celebrate our core book this half term ‘We’re All Going on a Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen. Today’s story trail was Homerton’s version of this story. Thank you all for joining in so enthusiastically.
Enjoying walking through the Swishy Swashy grass
Splash Splosh through the water
Off to Squelch Squerch through the mud
Stumble Tripping through the forest
Enjoying the swirling whirling snowstorm
Looking for the bear in the cave
Once it was a bit quieter the bear felt brave enough to come out of his cave!

Best wishes from all at Homerton
