Thank you to everyone for being so understanding of our Covid-19 guidelines and regulations.

This month we looked at different transport, superheroes, how to keep safe and what to do in an emergency!

We continued our recycling project and looked at how we can reuse plastic bottles by creating instruments and sensory bottles!

We also learnt how to use tools safely and used real hammers, saws and nails!
