First week back!

We’ve had a fantastic first week back to school. The children are already immersed in their learning and they have particularly enjoyed finding out about Growth Mindsets and how this can help with their attitudes to learning. We have started to read and explore our class book ‘The Incredible Book Eating Boy’ and we have produced some sketches in the style of Oliver Jeffers.

Homework and spellings will be set tomorrow and must be handed in next Thursday.
