A Happy Easter to all, we hope you have had a brilliant break!
We look forward to welcoming you back to School tomorrow, for what promises to be an exciting term full of wonderful learning experiences and opportunities.
Here is the Learning Challenge for this term. The children will be given a hard copy of this tomorrow, along with the Summer term curriculum letter. Remember, children do not need to complete all elements of the Learning Challenge to be worthy of a certificate. We encourage children to select the elements in which they are most interested in.
We look forward to celebrating all of the wonderful work the children produce!
Significant Person: William the Conqueror.
Poem: The Dragon on the Playground by Kenn Nesbitt.
There's a dragon on the playground
who descended from the skies.
He swooped down on the schoolyard
where he took us by surprise.
He leapt across the blacktop
in a single bounding stride,
erupting flames and lava
to incinerate the slide.
He reared his huge and scaly head
and flapped his leathery wings,
then set the soccer field ablaze
and blackened all the swings.
He cauterized the asphalt
with a sudden, fiery flash.
Then reeled upon the seesaw
and converted it to ash.
He melted all the monkey bars.
The sand was molten glass.
With nothing left to liquefy
he headed for our class.
I doubt we'll soon be rid of him
despite the fires he's set.
You see, our teacher likes him,
so he's now the teacher's pet.
