To continue with our Non-Fiction work we have attached a Youtube video for you to learn all about Giraffes!
Today would be a great day to think about 'being thankful'
Think about ways that we can show we are thankful. What have your family done for you that you can say thank you for?
In RE, we are looking at the story of 'Jesus and the 10 Lepers' - Think about how you would feel if you did something for somebody and they didn't say thank you!
