Year 6 Week 5 Newsletter
9th October 2020
Dear Parent/Guardian,
We have had yet another sensational English week that kicked off with a sumptuous breakfast together. The children enjoyed watching a variety of dances and folktales as well as reading stories from Nigeria. They had an opportunity to bring out their creativity by designing books and writing various stories, comics and poems using the ‘Book Creator app.
We concluded the week by dressing up in Nigerian outfits; showcasing our books and having a folktales trivia. We wish to thank you all for supporting us.
