What we are doing this term

What we are doing in Term 3

This page is designed to let you know about the kinbs of things the children are doing in school and to help you with follow-up when your innocent question, "And what did you do at school today?" produces the equally innocent, "We played."

Our main whole school topic this term and for term 4 will be planned around the Victorians, if you have any useful artefacts or memorabilia that you think would be useful to share with us please let your child’s class teacher know.
