Bonjour! Welcome to Monday – Monday derives from the Anglo- Saxon word ‘mondandaeg’ meaning the moon’s day, so see if you can spot the moon today. It may be lurking in the day-lit sky, you never know. Today’s menu includes guided reading, maths, class book, science, dance and magical enchantment (the magical enchantment only arises if you do all of your work).

Also, please do send in your orders for those hoodies and make your payment on Parent Pay – thank you.
