Home Learning
Happy Thursday, Poplar Class. Our class email is poplarclass@riversideprimaryschool.org.uk - you can send in examples of the lovely work you've been doing and anything else you want to send. Then we'll save them up until Fridays and post them once a week.
Could I please ask you to carry on collecting a few items for this week:
- an empty drinks carton (l litre or bigger)
- an empty plastic milk bottle with the lid (2 pints or bigger)
- empty cereal boxes (any size)
- kitchen roll tubes
and if you have anything delivered that comes in tissue paper or some useful packaging, save that too!
Thanks, Miss Coombes
