Merit League Table and Quiz Results

Happy Friday Year 2!

Today would have been the last day of the Spring Term. So you won’t find any new learning on the Yellow News page for the next two weeks. There might still be some videos. Ms Essor is going to finish reading Hodgeheg. Will Max stop wuddling his mords? Will Max find a safe way to road the cross?

Expect another video from me too, as I take you on a tour of the countryside. It’s very different to West Green!

It was nice to talk to lots of you and your families on the phone this week. As you will know, I’m still doing merits. You can win merits by making a comment to any of my blog posts, by sending any work to admin@westgreen.haringey.sch.uk, or by doing MyMaths or TimesTables Rockstars.
