This letter should be in book bags today.  As part of our Katie Morag topic, we would love the children to talk to a grandparent or equivalent about when they were younger.  They could ask questions about their favourite sweets, games they played, hobbies, holidays they had.   The presentation of this could be a poster, a story, a labelled picture or any other way they like.  Our criteria is that this should include a picture (photo or hand drawn) of the grandparent and provide some written information about that grandparent.  Children should be able to talk about this to the class week beg 26th March.   Thank you for your support.
