Welcome back to term 5, I hope you all had a lovely break.
The children started the week by reflecting on their learning from the last module. Some photos and examples of their reflections have been put together to form class reflection sites. We hope you will enjoy looking at these. Underneath the links to the reflection sites, you will also find some information about the children's new inquiry and what they will be learning.
Thank you to those of you who attended our open event on Wednesday after school. We hope you enjoyed the opportunity to have a look at your child's work.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
