In Art this term, we will be focusing on 'Taotie'. This project teaches children about the significance and art of the taotie motif, including ancient and contemporary casting methods.

Useful Information
PE is on Thursday (two separate PE lessons). Please ensure your child wears their named, correct PE kit in school on these days, that earrings are not worn and long hair is tied up.
The children have access to their water bottles in the classroom during the day. Please ensure that your child has a named water bottle in school which is taken home regularly to be washed.
Your child is welcome to bring in a snack of fruit or vegetables each day.
Reading books are your child's responsibility and they will be responsible for changing their own book. Please record the date and title of the book that they have chosen in their reading record and make sure that your child’s reading record is signed to say they have finished their book and read as regularly as you can with them at home.
Please note that our timetable is flexible and may be subject to change!
