Hello everyone 😊 I hope you are all safe and well. I am missing you all very much. I hope you are enjoying learning at home and creating some new activities and games with your family. May marks our first Summer month, I wonder can you recognise any signs of Summer? Keep yourself occupied and active and help at home as often as possible.
Parents, I know it can be very difficult to find the time to get the ‘Suggested Work’ completed, but please do not be under any pressure and only do what you can. All of the new learning will be revised when we return to school. Enjoy the bank holiday weekend with your family. Hopefully we will have beautiful, sunny weather and you will have lots of time to play outside.
