Excalibur Primary SchoolWeek beginning Monday 8 June
Welcome to the week
What a lot of rain! Did anyone get wet? What have you been doing outdoors? I have bought a wild life camera because my garden is visited by a hedgehog. It is great fun in the morning, connecting it to the laptop to see if he has visited.He is very noisy! Have you seen anything unusual in your garden or through your window?

Reading – every day please. Use Epic and your own books. There are some great books about lighthouses, sharks, jellyfish, starfish on Epic.
