We had a training day on Monday all about reading and its is so important to read real books to your children. There is so much vocabulary used in the books that we don't use in our day today talk.
We read books at school but the more books read to them the more new vocabulary the children will be exposed to.
Next week we are again looking at Kenya. Please watch the clip on teams for a pre- learning exercise.
Thank you for your support at home.

Another great week of map work, retelling stories and much more.
Words of the week : Beehive Farmyard
We have retold the story of ' Rosie's Walk' learnt lots of facts about Bees.
Built complex patters with shapes within shapes.
Had our first tennis session outside!
Polite ask: Please can you put sun cream on your child before they come to school if the weather is warm. I understand your concerns over burning but children do find it difficult to put it on themselves and they sometimes end up putting other people's on.
