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.

Saucer

So one man flew away.
