This week, Year 2 have been enjoying some scary learning based on extracts from The Funnybones books.

When they had completed their reading task, the children were asked to get creative and make skeletons using materials they could find around the house.

Here are some homemade Funnybones characters.

Another great week of home learning!

Quick hello to everyone

Posted on Thursday 09 April 2020 by Mrs Freeman

We hope you are all still managing to fit in some learning as well as having some fun. Thank you to everyone who has sent photos through to us – we have really enjoyed looking at them and feel very proud of you all.

In this photo, Penelope and her sister have been very resourceful. They have collected random objects from around the house to create this lovely rainbow. We are sure you will be as impressed as we are! Well done, girls!

Keep up with all the hard work and please keep sending the photos.

Remember though, have fun, be kind and stay active!
