Week commencing 01.03.2021
Hello Fox Class,
How are you? It was lovely to hear from so many of you last week via video calls or phone calls. We are entering our last week of Remote Learning, before we all return back to school on Monday 8th March! It has been a long time since we were last all together and I am incredibly proud of every single one of you. The weekly bookings appointments have given me the opportunity to chat to you about your incredible work and the weekly story times have allowed us to come together as a class and for you to see your friends virtually. I will always be grateful for the amazing technology that we can access to enable this to happen. I’m so excited to hear the buzzing of the classroom, to see your smiling faces and to hear your voices as I welcome you back into class in a week’s time.
It is World Book Day on Thursday 4th March and we have some exciting activities to celebrate the world of reading. Please save a tube or kitchen roll tube for a fun activity on Thursday. I emailed the letter from Miss Anstey last week but I have attached it below for you to read again if you wish. We will also have the opportunity to listen to a virtual reading of ‘Socks and Mittens Go Exploring’ by local author Charlotte Reynolds and there is information in the letter about buying a signed copy of this book.
Please note there will be an extra storytime for you to join on Thursday at 11:30 am. Please bring your favourite book to share with us, you can read some of it to the class or you can just talk about why it is your favourite book. I will send an email on Monday 1st March with links to both storytimes this week.
For now, enjoy the last week of remote learning and keep shining bright.
From a very excited Mrs Davies 😊

Look through the PowerPoint to gain an understanding of animal's offspring. You will need to match the animal to it's offspring and you may need to research this.
