Welcome back, I hope you have all enjoyed a lovely week off school full of sunshine! 

This half term, on Tuesday mornings, Forest Schools Emma has offered us a few more sessions. Week 1 and 2 will be for Year 4s. I will pop this on the dojo too. 

 

Swimming, our slots for the poll will be Monday afternoons and Wednesday mornings. Sadly, the pool is not ready for use yet so I will keep you posted as to when the children will need their swim kits. 

Literacy: The children will be engaging in independent writing this week. They will be given the opportunity to plan and draft their own piece of free writing before editing and publishing. This is always one of the children's favourite tasks as they get to show me which writing skills they have.
