Ms Carty 1-5th June

Hi girls,

I hope you're all keeping well, making memories and having fun in the sun. As we enter our last school month, I want to wish all the June babies a big Happy Birthday!

Try get outside in the sun as much as you can, go for walks and play in the local parks at a safe distance, put on the sun screen and soak up that vitamin D.

Everything for this week will be found on this page!

Have a great week,

Ms Carty.
