| Charlie our Class Teddy Bear. |
Charlie will be joining the children for a sleep over at your house. He will choose a child to go home with every day. His choice will be based on lots of different decisions. Whether the child has been kind, polite, shown good listening skills, has worked hard and achieved. Please ensure that Charlie only stays with you for one night only (apart from a weekend). He has his own visits book for you to fill in the box what he did whilst he stayed with you. The book is a covered reading diary in disguise and I do not expect photos of activities or a great deal written, just enough so that I can prompt your child when they explain in front of the class what they have done with Charlie the night before.
