Good morning Toucans.
It was so lovely to see you on our first ever Zoom call yesterday. You are all amazing! We are so proud of how hard you are all working and your enthusiasm towards completing your home learning tasks to the best of your ability.

Writing - Diary
The English PowerPoint for today's lesson is too big to attach to our blog today. However, it has been uploaded as a video on YouTube so if you just watch this and pause/replay the video when needed. Just make sure when you click on the weblink below that you start playing the video at the beginning. Today’s lesson is using your plan from yesterday’s lesson to start writing your diary entry.
Mrs Downing mentioned the following web links on her PowerPoint yesterday that you may like to explore to help further with your writing ideas.
