Week ending:
Friday 19th April 2024
Dear Families,
We hope you are well and that you enjoyed the Easter break.
It has been so lovely to see all the children be excited about returning to school after the holidays and we are looking forward to the new term. The children have been very focused and eager to learn about our new curriculum topic, 'Ramadan and Eid'. We have enjoyed making mosques using shape tessellation and writing lists of good deeds. Take a look through the photos below to see our work in action!
Best wishes from the Reception Team
