Resourcefulness - I can find a way
Reflective - I can reflect on my work

It's our final week of our Dinosaur topic. In school we would usually be preparing for our dinosaur Exhibition, inviting parents to come and view all the information the children have collected and items they'd made over the last 5 weeks.
Unfortunately, we haven't been able to do this but we've greatly enjoyed seeing all of your pictures along the way.
So this week we would like you to look through the dinosaur powerpoint and choose which of the dinosaur crafts you would like to achieve on which day. We've allocated today, Wednesday afternoon and some of Thursday to make sure we can practise all of the art skills above.
Story time
Each day there will be a story or poem read to the children by a member of the Key Stage One team.
Please see the link below for the story today. We hope you enjoy it.
