I cannot believe that we’re into our second week after the half-term break. It’s now full-steam ahead to Easter, with many exciting adventures in-between.
Uquhart Castle Visit
A reminder – we’re visiting Urquhart Castle next week, Monday 10th March 2014. Please ensure your child has a pack-lunch, water and suitable clothing for the excursion. This will be a fantastic end to our topic!
New Topic – Adventureland
Our Storypath topic – Adventureland – is now under way. We were very excited receiving the letter from our community member, Theresa Green, last week – and have already started creating our park. Encourage your child to share what they’ve been learning in the topic with you at home. Check out our class blog for photographs and developments.
Our Park Dedication will take place after the Easter break . . . I’ll be in touch with more information nearer the time.
PE – Remainder of Term 3
PE will continue to take place on a Monday and a Wednesday. Until Easter we will be developing our Balance skills.
