Week 8

A short week this week and next!  It's important to remember to get organised for camp over the Easter break..

Departure time for camp is 9.00am Wednesday 30th.

Good luck to the children attending the School Orienteering Champs on Wednesday evening.

The links to the children's blogs are now on the Room 6 blog.  make sure that you 'follow by email'.

This week we will be learning to work interdependently to create our evening camp meal for next Wednesday.  Please give your children practical advice where needed.

We will be looking at 'camp maths' which is a practical way to use everyday maths skills.
