Good morning Toucans! I hope you all had a good day yesterday and enjoyed your home learning. Please remember just to do as much as you can, be as creative as you want and look after everyone at home.
I’ve taken up running again as I have not been able to get to the gym. I ran 5km at the weekend and have just done 6km this morning! What could your new personal challenge be over the next few weeks?

Dear children,
We have all started on a strange adventure, I wonder what we will learn to do over the next few months? I think you will find that your parents are the best teachers! Enjoy any activity you do for the first time, we are going to make bread in my house! Mrs Powell

Keep enjoying the outdoors and see if you could set up some circuit training in the garden. My daughter made up her own gymnastics lesson out there yesterday – she bounced on her trampoline, went down the slide, ran up and down the garden and then finished on the swing! Lots of repetition and laughter!
