This week the children will be designing, building and evaluating bug hotels as part of their learning about habitats. If you have any materials that might support us with this, please get in touch! E.g. old pallets, wood or similar garden materials that might make suitable homes, or even an old well-loved dolls house that might be suitable, these would be very much appreciated!
Please don’t forget that payment for the school trip to Pulborough Brooks is overdue, many thanks for supporting us with this opportunity. Friday 3 May is the deadline for ordering leaver's t-shirts |

Please note this is a basic overview of the planning for this week. It is impossible to cover in this outline all the learning that takes place during a week! We also believe in listening to your children and responding to their interests and ideas therefore all our planning is flexible. Please note some of the learning will take place across more than one week and during some weeks the learning focus may not cover all curriculum areas.
