Recently, year 3 have been studying Aesop’s fables.  We have discussed the features of a fables and what makes them different from fairy tales as well as learning about what a moral is and how the fables convey these morals. 

Whilst there was much excitement this morning when the children arrived to see the snow-clad field, there was also disappointment for the choir when it became clear that the treacherous conditions outside, and the knock on effect of these on the bus service, would mean their planned visit to the Whitgift Centre to sing carols could not go ahead. 

This term junior children at Whitehorse will get to take home a free book donated by the Children’s Book Project.
