I n Class 2 this week we have been making things for Father's day and the children have told us what they love about their dad.  The tadpoles have now moved into the pond and the caterpillars are growing!  On Wednesday, a parent baked fruit scones with the children.  We have introduced a 'curiosity' cube to the class, they have been drawing pictures and talking about the items inside the cube.  The current letter for the sound bag is 'P', if you find anything beginning with this letter, please bring it in to add to our bag.  It has been a very wet week, the children have continued go...
