Weeks beginning 07.09.20 & 14.09.20
It was lovely to see all the children back last week. We did lots of 'getting to know you' activities and the children have all settled beautifully which has been great to see after such a long time out of school.
Over the next two weeks we will be focusing, across the school, on the topic, 'Journey through Europe'. Each class will be learning all about two European countries and Mulberry class will be finding out about Italy and Sweden. We have lots of exciting activities planned including: research on the iPads, Italian food tasting, flag making, map drawing, data collection, drawing, painting and much, much more! This will give us the opportunity to informally assess where the children are at while allowing them to be creative and continue to settle back in to the new routine. Keep an eye on this page as we will be posting regular photographs of our activities so you can see what we have been up to!
A quick reminder that P.E is on a Monday and Friday and children should come to school in their P.E kits on these days.
Reading books will be sent home on Wednesday this week and if they need to be changed, please return them the following Monday (14th September).
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to speak to either of us at the end of the school day, or email the office and we will respond ASAP.
Kind regards,
Mrs Tamlin and Mrs Costar
