In English, we wrote an invitation to our favourite teddy bears inviting them to a teddy bears picnic.

In DT we designed, taste tested, cut and created our very own fruit kebabs and shared them with our teddies.
We had a wonderful time!

We have been shopping a lot in maths. Learning about the value of coins and using them to buy items from the shop. We have used our counting knowledge of 2s and 10s to buy things with 2ps and 10ps.

We have also been practicing for our liturgy. All our welcome to join us in worship, this Tuesday 5th May at 10am at St Peter’s school. We would love to see you there! Here is a sneak preview of what’s to come…
