Welcome to Picasso Class!
We are Picasso Class. Our teacher is Mrs Robinson and our wonderful teaching assistant is Ms Winterton (Tuesdays and Thursdays).
Our topic for this term is Dynamic Dynasties!
This project teaches children about the history of ancient China, focusing primarily on the Shang Dynasty, and explores the lasting legacy of the first five Chinese dynasties, some of which can still be seen in the world today.

READING:
Please encourage your children to read daily. They can read on their own and sign their own planners, however it is really helpful for them to practise reading aloud and also to discuss the contents of what they're reading to an adult. Your child will have a bookmark in their planners which has comprehension questions for you ask them at home to support their understanding.
