Hi Class One,
Welcome back after your first half term. I hope you enjoyed your nature walk and finding your Autumn Treasures!
Timetable:
We have Forest school on a Monday afternoon and P.E on a Wednesday afternoon, so please keep practising how to get changed independently at home.
Tapestry Learning Journeys:
Please continue to use our class Tapestry account so that you can share your 'WOW' learning moments with your parents at home. This is the place to look out for your homework or any Memos from Mrs Cox.
Autumn 1 topic:
