Home learning opportunities 

In science, we are learning about animals including humans and what is needed to keep us alive. This includes how to keep healthy through exercise and a balanced diet. At home, have a go at trying some new foods and making some healthy meals. Take photographs and send them to the school office! Additionally, if you do any sports at the weekend, take some photos for us to share in the classroom.
