Hello Kandinsky,
Welcome to the second half of the summer term - I hope that you all enjoyed the sunshine over half term.
This week all of your activities are based upon the book ‘The Tale of Peter Rabbit’ by Beatrix Potter which was first published in 1902. I absolutely loved the Beatrix Potter stories when I was your age and this was one of my favourites.
Mrs. Allen
