The Little Red Hen!

Next week, with the weather turning more autumnal, we will start our Autumn and harvest activities. The main story will be 'The Little Red Hen', although we will also be reading lots of 'Percy the Park Keeper' stories as well.  Some children have already brought in lots of conkers, so we have enough of them, but if you find any cones or acorns over the weekend please could you send some in. Not too many acorns as we need to leave plenty for the squirrels!
