Only one more week until half term – we can’t believe how quickly time has flown by! Every day that passes brings us closer to seeing you all again, whenever that is, and we can’t wait!

Enjoy your usual Monday learning, and don’t forget – the more work you all share by email, them more likely it is that we will see a certain pair of fluffy-tailed, floppy-eared, twitchy-nosed creatures appear in Friday’s daily video message!

Happy learning!

p.s. don’t forget the Time Capsule project!
