Week commencing 01.02.2021

Hello Fox Class,

It has been so lovely to catch up with you all over the past week and I am so proud of everything you are doing. You are superstars! Take a look at the Term 3 tab on our class webpage, where you will find photos of your incredible remote learning journey!

This week it is Children’s Mental Health Week and on Monday at 9 am there is a live assembly for Children’s Mental Health Week – you can watch it here: https://www.childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk/news/children-s-mental-health-week-assembly-with-bafta-kids-and-oak-national-academy/. We will be watching this in school, so it would be great for our remote learners to watch this too. For further activities relating to this important topic, please see this week’s P.S.H.E lesson on Wednesday.

Keep going, I am so proud of you and I’m looking forward to seeing you in our bookings appointments this week.
