Welcome back! Below you can find information and pictures on our learning during this half term.
Fairtrade - Parent Overview
What We'll Build
During the first week back, Goldfinch looked at the book 'What We''ll Build' by Oliver Jeffers. We based our English activities on the book and made links to our five learning behaviours. We did lots of activities including group work and art, before creating a large piece of art work with Hawk Class. Our art work was based on 'The Great Wave' by Japenese artist Katsushika Hokusai.
Some pictures of our week are below!
