    Tapestry observation 

    The focus this week is Music. We want you to think about your musical preferences and about what music you like to listen to and why, as well as music you don’t like. You may want to send us a photo or video of your child listening to or playing their favourite music pieces. 

    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.
