Weekly Update - Friday 28th March 2025

Summary of this week:

This week we have really enjoyed exploring the story of ‘The smartest giant in town’. The children have loved thinking about rhyming words and making up their own rhyming sentences.

On Thursday Ethan’s Mummy came in to talk to us about Ramadan. The children loved seeing the special calendar and trying the sweet dates. Thank you to Ethan’s Mummy for giving up her time to come in and see us.

The children have also really enjoyed creating some cards for some special adults in their lives. We focused on the artist ‘Megan Coyle’ and created some very impressive landscape collages.
