 As we are going through really difficult times, we should keep being positive and keep smiling! If you haven't made a rainbow yet, please do to spread HOPE ! :) 

Please feel free to explore a new EYFS home learning pack and Easter activities, which are under 'Useful learning resources and Website links'. 

Please make sure you read a story daily and ask questions that will challenge and extend your child's thinking. I have shared suggested questions below. :-)

Enjoy your break!

Kind regards,

Miss Rapti, Mrs Shah, Mrs Sheth, Mrs Reeve
