This week has been very short and quick, but also lots of fun.

We have enjoyed continuing with our story Room on the Broom; acting out our own versions of the story and even making our own spells up. The apple group made a superb spell up to make the night sky full of bright twinkly stars. We…

This week we have enjoyed a shape hunt, being in our outside classroom and finishing our car models. The children have also worked hard on…
