We will be reading the book Handa's Surprise and its sister book "So long Songolo "this coming week 4th July. Can't believe how fast this year has wizzed by.
I am hoping to link this book to our learning about the Gambia and Fatou and this will also lead nicely into next week where the whole school theme is the Gambia. Lets hope for some nice sunny hot weather to go with this wonderful theme. I will be trying to help the children understand also, that we live in a multicultural Britain. This is tricky living in Dorset with its lack of different ethenticies and failths. They may well come home with some questions. Be ready to answer!! Our aim in school is to help children understand that the way we look, and the beliefs that we hold may be different to someones elses, but that we are not different in the way we feel and think and behave.
The children did so well with sports day and it has taken a lot of effort on Mrs Roberts and Mrs Howells part to get the children into the practise of running relay style and working as a team. All the children did realyy well and I hope you forgive the helping hand in places. They showed real competence and excellence in their skills.
