1. How does your garden grow?
Welcome Back!
I hope you have all had a restful and enjoyable Easter break.
We are now in the final term of the school year and as always it promises to be busy and exciting with lots of new learning opportunities.
Our topic for this half term is ‘How does your garden grow?’ which is a Science based topic that will allow the children to explore how plants and trees grow as well as learning about different types of flowers, plants and trees.
The children have already enjoyed their stunning start gardening day on Thursday so don’t forget to ask them all about it! They all did some super learning!
We have made some changes to our timetable this term and our PE days will now be Mondays and Thursdays. Please make sure full PE kit including outdoor footwear is in school on these days.
As always if you have any questions or concerns then please do come and speak to me.
Thank you as always for your support
