    Tapestry observation 

    The focus this week is Science. We have been learning about the solar system. Ask your child to draw or write a list of the planets they know. If they write them, encourage them to use their phonics e.g. Jupiter may be spelt Joopiter.

    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.
