Hello everyone, and welcome to our wonderful class page. The adults in class are Mrs Husband, Miss Rollins and Miss Senior and Mr Richardson. We are excited to share with you what we will be getting up to this term.
This term we are looking at cultural stories, specifically ‘Handa’s Surprise’ by Eileen Browne.
We have started the term by making our own fruit bowls out of paper mache which we are going to paint and decorate and then add our own fruit.
We have tried lots of different fruit already this term and have been great at describing them using our senses.
