Pupils in Year 2 have been taking part in some hands on home learning. Children and their families have completed vibrant art projects inspired by Hunterwasser, followed recipes to make sushi and used clocks with moving parts to help learn to tell the time. It is fantastic to receive these examples via the home learning email!
