Topic Request
Dear Parent/Carer
As part of our topic ‘Long Ago’ the children have been learning about the past and ages and stages. For one of our craft projects we would like the children to paint a portrait of a grandparent. To do this the children will need a photograph to use to create the painting. It could be a hard copy brought in to school or a picture sent to us using the class emails which we could then print out.
We really appreciate your support with this and helping the children with their learning.
Many Thanks
The Reception Team
Please return by Wednesday 31st January 2024
