Here I am

The children will be completing their final ‘Here I Am’ topic this year of Special Places. The children will be asked to research and investigate places that are special for their families. Please have a good look at home for photographs and items which remind you of a place which is special to you and your family. Talk to family members, can they tell you any funny or interesting stories about a special place?

We will:

Recognise a special place for a family

Reflect on a place which is particularly special to their own family

Have a lovely week

All the best from the year one and two team xoxo
