Maths Library

I have set up a Maths Library of games that the children can take home to play.
Each game is issued in a bag with a dice.
Playing these with your child will help them to reinforce basic number knowledge.
These may be exhanged after a few days or a week.

Have fun!!

Sunday 28th August Full School Mass

Noah Production

Next term we are producting a full school musical, Noah.
We have started learning the songs and the performances will be on in week 2 of term 4.

Our class song is The Wibbly Wobbly Jelly Icy Creamy Shop.

The children have a copy of this in their poetry book. There is only one verse that is repeated 3 times so this won't be too difficult to learn.

We will need to be dressed as ice-creams, any ideas much appreciated !!!

Later this week I will be choosing 3-4 children to lead our song and we will also be asking for any dancers for another scene.

Many Thanks
Neroli
