Thank you for supporting with World Book Day last week – costumes looked fantastic and it was wonderful to have so many reading rivers to share. We hope your child is feeling nthused by books and reading from the day.

Please help your child run through their lines for the play if they have some to help them read them slowly and clearly. We will have our first rehearsal in the hall this week.

Supporting with learning at home: Our science learning this week is about plants and the difference between garden plants and plants that are wild or grow naturally (often called weeds if they are unwanted). You can support with this learning by spotting these different plants on the way to school or in your park/garden.
