In Art, we will be creating sculptures using clay, using the art technique call 'batik' we will be creating fish artwork and learning how to create an island sunset picture.
Messages
Can we please remind parents that children are still unfortunately unable to bring items in from home, to school e.g pencil cases and fiddle toys.
Please send your child in every day with a water bottle as the children are still not able to use the water fountains.
Our P.E day is Wednesday and we would like the children to come to school wearing their P.E kit (plain white T-Shirt, black, navy or grey joggers and jumper) every Wednesday.
On a Tuesday, we will be participating in The Sports Project which means the children will need to come in wearing trainers (not full kit) to be able to participate.
We will be checking the children's reading records every Friday, so please ensure that your child takes their reading record in to school every Friday.
Love To Learn will be set each Friday and will need to be handed in by the following Wednesday. New Love To Learn books will be issued next week.
Many thanks,
Mrs Cousins and Mr Mason
