As the school was due to be closed Monday and Tuesday for the Bank Holiday Weekend, I have only set work for Wednesday – Friday.

It was due to be Intercultural Day this week. The children have been invited to research a country of their choice and complete a short

project on that country. This can take the form of Powerpoints, posters, videos etc.

I have assigned the children the task of researching Italy this week. If they would prefer to research their own country instead that is perfectly fine. They are encouraged to team up with siblings to

complete their projects also.

If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to email me.

Thanks

Ms. Doyle
