A message from Mrs Skinner
Message to Sycamore Class 20.7.20
Hello Sycamore class,
I hope this message finds you all well. As the school year draws to a close, I would like to thank all the wonderful children in my class for a lovely year. Sadly, our time was cut short, but we had lots of fun times and I know you will have a fantastic time in your new class. I feel very privileged to have worked with such a well mannered and hardworking group of children. Miss Leggett wishes you all the very best in Year 2 and she is looking forward to seeing you around school in September.
Have a wonderful summer and make lots of special memories with your family.
Stay safe and as always be very good children for your adults.
I will miss you,
Love from Mrs Skinner x

Dear Sycamore class,
What a wet week it has been, the weather has really helped Mrs Skinner’s plants to grow though. My sunflowers and tomato plants are getting very tall now. I hope you have all had a lovely week and you have enjoyed exploring trees as part of our project. We have had lots of fun drawing ‘evergreen’ and ‘deciduous’ trees and carrying out leaf rubbings in school. Miss Leggett has really enjoyed helping our ‘bubble’ to create posters about their favourite insects.
As the school year begins to draw to a close, I have been reflecting on the time I have had with Sycamore class. I have lots of lovely memories of my wonderful class and I am sad that our time was cut short, however I know how much you will enjoy your new teacher next year. Thank you also to the wonderful parents for all your support and making it such a memorable year.
Love from

Dear Sycamore class,
I hope you are all enjoying the lovely sunshine and have had fun completing the activities this week. Miss Leggett has been working hard to create some beautiful displays in Sycamore class. We have enjoyed ‘Insect week’ and have learned lots of interesting facts about ladybirds. Emily thank you very much for your lovely pictures. I am delighted to hear how much you are enjoying completing your project about rabbits. It was lovely to hear about your trip to Portsmouth too.
Mrs Skinner is very excited as she has bought her first tent and is very much looking forward to some camping holidays in the summer. Miss Leggett has enjoyed time visiting her Nanna and spending quality time with her Mum.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and enjoy the nice weather while it lasts.

Dear Sycamore class,
This week we have welcomed back some of the Year 1 children. It has been lovely to see them. We are working hard to complete our ‘Beautiful Britain’ project. The children have really enjoyed researching different habitats. Thank you very much Joe for the lovely photograph of your coastal habitat. Your Andy Goldsworthy inspired collage is beautiful. I hope your foot is much better soon. Lucien, it was lovely to see your photographs of the seals you saw at ‘Horsey Bay’. What a wonderful experience and a lovely treat to enjoy an ice cream. It was lovely to hear how hard River is working on her reading and writing. Good girl for building Lego sets and planting flowers in the garden. Emily, your fact file about rabbits is beautiful and your picture is amazing. I hope you are keeping well and being very good children for your adults. I miss you and I hope you enjoy the activities on the class page.

Hello Sycamore class, I hope you are all having a lovely week. We have had a lot of rain this week which has been good for Mrs Skinner’s plants, but the weekend is looking to be a little warmer.
Mrs Skinner, Mrs Southgate and Miss Leggett has been in school, planning for the Autumn term. Mrs Southgate and Miss Leggett have been giving our classroom a little layer of paint to make it look fresh for your return.
Lucien has been busy cooking and he baked us some delicious cookies for us to share. Thank you so much Lucien we enjoyed them so much! Emily has been busy making her own clock to help her to tell the time. It looked amazing. Maisie your cupcakes look delicious and well done for working so hard on your project about ‘hedgehogs’. I am amazed by your sunflowers they are getting really tall. Good girl for watering them so well. Please keep your photographs coming in. I miss you all and they make me smile.
Have a lovely week and continue being very good children.

Mrs Southgate’s daughter has celebrated a big birthday this week. She has been enjoying lots of cake and party food. She is also building a larger enclosure for her two guinea pigs. Miss Leggett has been enjoying beach walks and topping up her tan while doing coursework in the garden.
