DVD and short animations
Over the course of the year to support the children’s learning, we will be showing a variety of short animations and DVDs. Some of these will have the rating ‘PG’. If you do not wish your child to partake in viewing these particular clips throughout the year, please let your class teacher know. This will begin from Friday 10th September.
