We have been learning how to play dominoes this week, try this at home if you can.

During art we painted ourselves- come into Room One and enjoy our amazing paintings. We also described something we like to do and these posters will form part of our Assembly item next week!

Every day Eli is full of wonderful ideas, he bubbles with enthusiasm in all areas and is swift to encourage others, taking turns and recognising when it is a good idea to help his peers.
