Good morning everyone! I’m looking forward to welcoming some of you back to school this week. It is going to be a little bit different to what you are used to but all the adults are there to help you and answer any questions you may have. Just ask us 😊 

Welcome to week 11 of home learning. How crazy is it that it is nearly July! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I had my first strawberry from my strawberry plant 🍓. It was delicious, so tasty! I have a few more growing too so I’m looking forward to picking those. I’ll put a picture of it below. 
 

New set up for home learning - you only have to do the days of work on the website for the days that you are NOT in school. If you are staying at home please follow the daily activities as you have done in previous weeks. I will not be doing a daily check in on google classroom anymore. I will do one a week on a Wednesday as this is when most children are at home. The weekly questionnaire will now only be sent to key worker children and children who have not been in school. 
 

Have a wonderful week. Any questions, just ask On google classroom and I will try and reply after 3.30. 

Speak to you next week 

love
