Monday 8th February
Whole-school Learning Focus
In order to enhance our learning, and allow siblings to work together, we have decided that each Monday we will have a whole-school focus on an interesting topic.
It is all linked to the curriculum and we have extended it for different ages, but we felt working together would support the learning process.
Below are the learning tasks for today. The tasks that have 'essential' next to them must be completed. Once the essential tasks have been completed, you can choose from the choice tasks.
This week's theme is 'Chocolate'.
