Yrs 5 and 6 will be working with hundreds and thousands.
The EAL class will also be talking about the International Day coming up shortly. Time permitting we will be making posters advertising the event.
It is a shorter week this week as we had a national holiday on Monday 5 October. please remember to talk with your child about the reason why we have these holidays. You would be surprised at their interest.
