L.T. noticeboards are labelled with a sign – teachers add their own banner header to suit their display. Ideally these noticeboards are updated by the end of first/early second week of the month so that they link with the theme of the month for the school.

***REMINDER*** We are looking for ‘good news highlights’ from classes during assembly – Children benefit from some scaffolding with this so try to chat at home about the highlights of the week on Thursday afternoon!
