If your child brings the same book home it is because we feel they need more time to explore the text. • Library – Every Thursday afternoon the children will be visiting the library in the Secondary building. • Please make sure you look at the website, there will be a weekly blog post which may contain tasks for the children to do based on their learning.
- 9. Bring and Explore •If the children have something to bring in to show, we would only like them to bring things that they can talk about and will encourage the class to explore and learn from. • E.g. a nest that has fallen from a tree. An artefact from another country. Something historical like a fossil.
