Hi boys and girls! How are you? We hope you are safe and well. The next few weeks are going to be a little bit different as you will be working at home with your grown ups! For some of our children, you have already had to work in this way recently, you were amazing and smashed it! Continue to make your teachers immensely proud.
We need to do this to keep each other safe and can’t wait until we can all be back together in school when it is safe to do so.
Welcome to culture week! We are so excited about the week ahead. We are going to be learning lots about the country where we live, which is England! We live in Jarrow, in the North East of England.
We have lots of videos, activities and challenges for you to complete this week! You may see some new faces in our videos. You will see….
