‘Nurturing Individual Excellence’

Other Areas (Wk Beg. 11.5.20)

Hi everyone,

Remember that these learning activities can be done in any order so you can pick and choose.  

If you do something that you are really proud of, your adult could send a photo of it and a short blurb to contact@excalibur.cheshire.sch.uk

It will then appear under the 'News from Home' section of the school website.  It would be lovely to see what you have been doing.

Click the picture below to find 'Sing up at Home'.  Singing is a great way of cheering you up if you are feeling a bit sad or fed up.  Try the song 'Let love shine through'and Disney's 'Toy Story' under the Empowering section.  Sing it out with your family!

The Oak National Academy are now bringing us weekly assemblies which you can enjoy at home with your families.  This weeks assembly is all about ‘Well Being’.  Follow the link below to join in and have a sing-a-long with Disney's West End cast of The Lion King.
