Next week, we will start our timetable properly, so please read the Peek into Next Week for more information about PE days, Forest School days, swimming etc. We will kick next week off with a WOW Viking Day. There is more information about this, as well as Dip and Do homework tasks for this week and important information about when it is due in too.
