       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.  The table below demonstrates some guidance.

       Poem/Song to learn: Five Little Men in a Flying Saucer
       Five little Men in a flying saucer.                                                                  Person: Mr Maker

They looked left and right,
But they didn’t like the sight,
So one man flew away.
