Human Family Trees, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 20th Sep 2020 @ 8:50pm
The Koalas have impressed us with the number of facts they can remember about Queen Elizabeth 1. They had great fun in the sunshine working out some of her family tree. The children made connections with other curriculum areas and told us that they had had to use their reading and maths skills to work out who her grand parents and parents were. They did an awesome job!

Well what can I say, The Elephants have made a fantastic start to Year 3. 
They have settled well and got used to our new routines. I am very proud of them. They have been showing great focus and concentration during lessons.

We have thoroughly enjoyed teaching the awesome Koalas this year and are just sorry that due to such unusual circumstances we didn’t have a “normal “year with them.
Thank you for all your support this year both before , during and after lockdown we have been a good team.🙃🙂
It was lovely to have the children back and see them again, even If it was for just a few weeks. They have loved seeing their friends again and it has been good to have a bit of sort of “normal”.
Finally, a big thank you for all the lovely cards and gifts we received, as always not expected but much appreciated, we hope you all have a good holiday and break,😎
Take care and stay safe🌈❤️

It really has been a priviliege to work with the Elephants, they are truly a group of gorgeous children who behave beautifully and who have worked their socks off throughout Year 2. Both Mrs Woolley and I are are extremely proud of them all.
We hope you all have a lovely summer
