Congratulations to Stanley and Ella A

Stanley showed an excellent positive attitude when we practised our handwriting last week. His control and formation was so neat. We are very impressed, Stanley. 

Ella was set a challenge to find things around the room beginning with a particular sound. She found duck, dog and drum to put on the 'd' mat and did so with such enthusiasm. A pleasure to have in class.
