Picture Perfect
When you are out and about today, this weekend or over the holidays, take a picture of one of your favourite places to go. Try to take the best photo you can. Send it in and tell us why it is your favourite place. We can then pass these on to Miss Kendall so she can see all of your favourite places and get to know you a little bit more.

We would usually have a Sports Day in school before the summer holiday. As it isn't possible to do one this year, you can do your own at home with your family. Why not come up with your own team name...
Have a look at the activities below and the points you could win. I wonder who in your house will be the overall winner.

During the school closure period, we are providing home learning activities; we will suggest a variety of different activities for you to complete with the children. The activity list can be found below.
Please ensure your child reads to an adult at least 3 times a week using either a book from home, a library book or the Oxford owl website.
We have also provided a grid of possible activities that you could use for 'choosing' time but pease remember there is lots of fun to be had playing imaginatively inside and outside.
Please see the file Home Choosing Activities.
Our topic for the half term is Under the sea; there are many activity ideas shared on Pinterest, search for EYFS Sea activites.
For any online episodes, please ensure an adult is supervising so that adverts can be skipped as we cannot guarantee the suitability of any adverts which may pop up.
