Good morning
I hope you have all enjoyed a well deserved rest and have been able to enjoy some family time over the last two weeks. We were blessed again with some beautiful weather, particularly over the first week, and I hope you were able to make the most of the outside whilst still keeping safe.
As you will be aware, from today school is now open more widely for some children and some Year groups will be returning in the coming weeks. Unfortunately for us, that does not include our Year group. Although I will now be in school more often ( working with other groups of children in school), I will continue to set you work for you whilst you are at home. Thank you for all your hard work , I am so proud of how you continue to show resilience and great strength whilst working from home at this very unusual time - you really are an amazing class! Keep up the great work and remember that if you’re unsure of anything then please do get your parents to email me. Due to the wider opening, I will now be in school more often but I will continue to answer emails. However, I may just need to ask for your patience on certain days. Please continue to send me your finished pieces of writing and photos of things you’ve been doing so that we can share these on our weekly blog - it’s a great way to feel connected and see what your friends are up to.
This week’s learning focus:
English:
Keep up with your daily reading. Aim to read for at least 20 minutes a day.

• ¡Aquí se habla Español ! Try out the fun app called Duolingo (free version) to continue your Spanish learning or even try a different language - you can learn a few different languages using the same account. Why not try 10 minutes a day of Spanish and see how much you can learn. Let me know how you get on!
Hope you all have a good week. Take care, miss you all!
