Woodpeckers, we've had a super DT week. Your paper pyramids showed so many skills and demonstrated so much history knowledge. We had lots of fun lifting, weighing and sharing our potatoes, cooking and eating Moroccan style cous-cous and using a solar oven to cook hotdogs. You really impressed during our arty ZOOM to the National Gallery and wow...you were awesome in our Variety Performance.
You should be very proud.
We will be using these beautiful books to support our learning this half term.

At about 7 years old, children enter the 'Concrete Operational' phase of development (Piaget). This is an exciting change, but can be challenging too. As a parent, I have found the following sites really helpful.
