Dear Parents,
We are continuing our topic of "Celebrations and Patterns" by learning about the story of Guy Fawkes and also Remembrance Day. The children will be using a range of media and materials to create their own firework pictures and will be toasting a marshmallow around our fire pit.

support your child. Please note they do

Learning Challenge
Each half term we will be
setting our pupils a challenge related to their learning. We believe that it is
important for us to provide guidance for parents on how their children's
learning can be extended at home.
The learning challenge will include either a nursery rhyme, famous
person, illustration or a piece of
music. Please talk to your child about the challenge and help them to engage in
their learning. The children can choose how they present their learning
challenge outcomes to their teacher or class.
