We hope you enjoyed the learning last week and have found both the Colour Monster and Grandad’s Island’s enjoyable texts to support talk around feelings. Next week we are finally launching our topic on space and we are so excited to take children on this intergalactic adventure! In order to preserve the awe and wonder aspect of this topic launch we are keeping our story top secret (though it is revealed in the learning links below, please don’t tell the children what it is yet!)
… a little clue is the story is about a mysterious object (and something inside it) that lands on Earth.
