Learning Challenge
Each half term we will be setting our pupils a challenge related to their learning, this is in line with the rest of the school. We believe that it is important for us to provide guidance for parents on how their children's learning can be extended at home.
Five little speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious grubs - yum, yum
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Now there are four green speckled frogs - glub, glub.

Each half term we will be setting our pupils a challenge related to their learning, this is in line with the rest of the school. 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, 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 however the table
below details some ideas for the learning challenge.
