The focus this week is Art/Literacy. Draw, paint or create a picture of your favourite story character and send us a photo. In class, we will then ask your child who their favourite character is and why. 

You can also send us any moments that you feel are significant in your child’s learning or want to share with your child’s class teachers. Click the links below to find out how to add observations from different devices.
