The change quiz

F OR PAR E NT S T O US E

- C H A N GE S

This is most fun if it is done in pairs. The idea is that you should rate how you would feel about the change: 0 I would hate this to happen 1 I wouldnt like this to happen 2 I don't care if this happens 3 I would like this to happen 4 I would love this to happen more than anything Read the changes together then rate them. Your child might like to fill in the numbers.

When I was young

This activity is great fun to do with an older person, maybe a grandparent or elderly neighbour. As we get older we can find ourselves saying, When I was young Talk about what you did and decide whether the things are the same or different. You might like to draw the thing that is most different.

Love is the sun, the god and the air, Love is the happiness and the time that we spare, Love is Jesus, love is the cross, Love moved the boulder to show them whos boss. Love is the life that is always spoken, Love is the knife to make your heart broken. Love is good and love is bad. Love is happy and love is sad. Clark Russell 6B This is an example of some of the work undertaken last week on the CRIBs bus. Many thanks to their staff.

They also reviewed selected policies, proposed visits and school journey. FOB News FOB would like to ask parents to think about placing orders for new uniform for September now. They were very busy at the new entrants meeting last week taking orders and it would help them to clear some of the demand from the rest of the school before the summer holidays.
