Hi Everyone
I hope you are all keeping well and safe at home. I hope you all had a lovely weekend even with the wet weather we had, hopefully the sun will come out again this week.
I cannot believe we only have 2 more weeks left of the school year. The time has flown by so fast. Although we are not in school together you are all doing super work at home and I love seeing the work and activities you are getting up to. It is not the same, but it puts a smile on my face every day!
The last two weeks of school are going to be full of fun and Activities. We will be doing an Active Schools Fortnight I hope you are all ready to exercise! There are 4 activities each day (activity 2 is a choice between two options), you can do them all or pick and choose! On Tuesday and Wednesday, we have a special fitness class by Brian from Brian’s Fitness just for our school, this will take place at 11am on those days.
I cannot wait to see all your active work this week but most of all I hope you have fun!
