    Remote Learning – Heat Wave

    There is no need to print anything out.

    Grown-ups, please help your children write the answers on paper to bring in, or take a photo and send it to the class email. 

    This week we are learning all about Minibeasts.

    Reception children – talk to your family about your minibeast hunts in the Nursery Wild Garden and in our Forest School. Look out for minibeasts in and around your home or on your walk to and from school. Please do not stay outside too long and stay safe in the sun.

    Friday 26th June

    Homework will be in the homework books as usual. Remember to read with your child too, and write a comment in the Reading Record Book. Many thanks.
