International week for Early Years, 2nd - 6th March 2020
This year for International Week the early years children will be finding out about the continent of Antarctica. We will find the continent on the map, find out about the people who live there and the animals that can survive there. We will conduct many different scientific experiments about ice, find out about explorers and read books about this exciting place.
We would like to invite you to come into school on Thursday 5th March from 8.30 am until 10 am. You can look at the work we have been doing and find out more about this amazing continent. Remember to wear a coat it might get cold in our Antarctic classrooms!
