Lots of suggested activities have already been posted on the blog for you to choose from. With our assembly being not far away at all, please continue to go over lines and song words in preparation for this. Some detailed drawings of fruit and veg would also be fantastic, the bigger the better for display purposes!

Our 2 main songs to learn which have already been introduced can be found at the following links:
