Fun on the farm! 

This half term we will be finding out all about farm animals and life on the farm. We will also be visiting Bocketts farm after we complete our project.

Help your child prepare for their project

The new project will run for the first half of the Summer term. Homework contributions can be made throughout the half term, please make sure your child brings in something that they have worked on at home by Friday 19th May.

• Make a farm shop at home with boxes and props and send us a photograph.
