We are continuing our 'Big Wide World' topic... We will be exploring how everyone around the world is unique and that is what makes the world such a special place! We will be sharing different stories that celebrate diversity and exploring different cultures and communities from around the world. 

Have a listen to this lovely book 'One World Together'- Where would you like to visit in the world?

We will be talking about how we are all wonderfully unique... Have a listen to this story, you could then have a go at one of the home learning challenges attached to the blog post below. As always, we'd love to see what you get up to on Tapestry or bring your creations into school.

As always, we love seeing your reading at home and your lovely writing that comes into school!
