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.
Please ensure the challenge is brought in to school by Monday 26th March at the latest so that the certificates can be prepared.
 Person:  A Superhero
 Piece of Music: Johann-Strauss Radetzky: March
 Poem/Song to learn: Jack and Jill went up the hill
