Welcome to your final week of home learning! Well done everyone for all of your hard work. We can’t wait to see you all next week!
We hope you enjoy your final week at home. We will be very busy in school getting everything prepared for your return. This means we will not be able to give feedback on submitted work this week. We will be asking for children to bring in their home learning so that we can celebrate their work in school.
This is the week of World Book Day. You are invited to dress up for your class story time and on Thursday 4th March for your learning whether you are in or out of school. We are looking forward to seeing all the characters you choose to dress up as! Please send a photo to your class email if you can so we can print them off when we are back at school next week.
Mrs Fricker’s assembly this week introduces some resources from the WBD site and has a dramatised story to enjoy. Click here to watch.
The science task on Monday requires a trip to the garden or local green space so please think about if this is possible before you start the lesson. If it is not possible there are some pictures you can print off to use instead. Please find these here.
