Samba, Samba, Samba!

Year 1 have begun their Samba lessons - we are really working hard to bring you an amazing performance in December.

Welcome back after half term. The Wagtails have had a marble treat this week to celebrate filling their marble jar - well done Wagtails.

All the Year One's had a brilliant Samba lesson with Ms Whitehouse ...watch out for the date of our performance at the end of term. Again you followed the Silver Learning Code by trying something new.

We have also started our new Superhero topic. The children loved reading Supertato and making their own Supertatoes to take home. Make sure your Supertato is on the look out for the Evil Pea getting up to mischief. The Evil Pea has already been causing trouble by hiding the counters we needed for maths and the stickers for our handwriting books...what will he do next?
