Hello girls & boys 
I hope you had a lovely weekend and you enjoyed completing some of the activities I planned for you last week.
Thank you to everyone who is sending pictures of the work that your child is doing at home - I love seeing all of the fantastic work that you are doing. I am very impressed at how hard you are all working. Keep up the great work!
Continue to begin your day by doing something active each morning as it really helps get you energized. I have linked Joe Wick's website below - His morning PE lessons are excellent and go live every morning at 9. 30 am.
Feel free to pick and choose from the list of activities and don't feel pressure to complete everything.
I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather. Stay safe and chat to you all very soon.
