Teddy’s

Corner

Good Work Certificates

Teddy has had a quieter few days after a busy week last

week.

He had not been eating so Mrs Episcopo took him to see the ‘V.E.T.’ and she

discovered he had 2 broken puppy teeth! They were

causing him discomfort so they were removed and he is

now back to his usual happy self.

Here is Teddy showing the children his healthy eating routine at snack time with a piece of apple.

The children continue to

send him lovely pictures and

letters.

Thank you children!
