Noticeboard
- Welcome to Term 6!
- This term will be split into 2 parts: Animalia and Journeys
- We hope you enjoyed our production of ‘The Litter Muncher’. We had lots of fun putting it together and it was nice to beagle to watch it in our classes, a treat we would not normally have whilst performing it!
- On Friday of this week we will be taking part in our whole school celebration of 150 days in school this year with a special day. An email has already been sent to you with this information and about the home challenge. Here is a copy of the home challenge part of that email…
We are asking for your support in enabling your child to come to school with one thing you can find at home that represents 150. Some examples include:
- A top trumps card with ‘150’ on it
- £1.50 (150p)
- An item that is 150cm tall
- Something that weighs 150g
- A book with 150 pages
- 150th anniversary booklet or book.
- Remember to click the link to plans and resources below if your child is needing to self-isolate but is well. Please email the class email address if you find yourself in this position and are unsure.
- We will continue to aim to get outside as much as possible so they really need a waterproof coat each day.
Year 1 Learning Week 1, Term 6– Link to plans and resources if you are needing to isolate or quarantine.
