Poetry Eisteddfods:

The children are working very well on their poetry Eisteddfods. Thank you for supporting them with some practise at home. Poetry eisteddfods will be held in class next week on Monday 3^rd July and Tuesday 4^th July, with Eisteddfod Assembly on Thursday 6^th July at 1.30 pm in the hall.

Cultural Assembly:

Our Cultural Assembly is an opportunity for children of families from other countries and cultures who would like to share one aspect of that country or culture. If you think this could be your child, please encourage them to make themselves available and support them with what they could share. I am happy to work with you on this and make time available in class for them to practise. An example might be a song, speech, photos, pictures, costume or simply a story about your journey.

Room 3 & 4 Exodus Walk to the Promised Land:

This week we are planning to go on an Exodus Walk. We will follow Moses and Aaron out of Egypt and through the wilderness in search of the Promised Land that God promised to his people.

When: This Friday, 30^th June, leaving school at 12 noon, returning approximately 2.40 pm.

What to bring:

*Clothing to change into - similar to Moses’ times, for example an old sheet to wrap around, some string or a scarf to tie it, and a tea-towel for their heads.

* A regular lunch-box, which we will carry in school bags, and eat once we have finally made it to the Promised Land.

Are there any Room 3 and 4 parents who could accompany us for this please?

Have a great week.
