• Virtual Art Lesson

  Mon 03 May 2021

  Our Reception Classes took part in a virtual art lesson with artist, Jenny Leonard. The theme was 'Under the Sea'. The children were asked to use lots of different felt tips to draw bubbles on a bath, an under the sea scene and then an octopus. This work was linked to the project we have been completing with the Octopus Ahoy Team. Great fun was had by ALL!

  

• We Love Reading at Richard de Clare

  Well done to everyone who took part in the World Book Day Challenges. We received fantastic photographs of the children dressed up as their favourite book characters. It was great to see their reading dens which included some wonderful and fun places to read books. The food challenges were amazing- very imaginative- all were cleverly crafted to link to their favourite books.

   

  During our live lessons the children shared their most cherished books and engaged with a host of reading activities with their class teacher. A fabulous day was had by all!
