Special Person
On a Friday, one child in class will be chosen as our special person. When it is your child’s turn, they will come home with a note to say they are the special person. Please collect five special things that are important to your child and discuss why they are special to them. It could be a teddy they have had since they were a baby, a certificate that they have been awarded or a photo of a family party. Once you have discussed them, please take a photograph and upload it to Class Dojo by the following Thursday, to enable the child to talk about why these items are special to them.
