We hope you enjoyed Mrs Archer's reading of the The Smartest Giant in the World today. Tomorrow Mrs Dineen reads us one of her own poems that has been published! Don't miss it!
Just a reminder that we would still love to receive all your photos and pictures through email (support@st-patricks.southampton.sch.uk). If the children put them on SeeSaw only the class teacher can see them, but if you email we are able to share with the whole staff who love to see them and send back messages.
Tomorrow is St George's Day, our national feast day in England (also in several other countries) and is also the day in Catalonia, Spain where men and women exchange books as a token of their love! There are plenty of dragon-related activities for the children including:
Send us photos of whatever you come up with!
