Toucans Blog Week beg. 23/3/20
Good morning Toucans! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and are ready to commence your home learning. It is a very strange feeling for me this morning that I’m not able to greet you all personally, remind you to choose your dinner and to settle down to your booster task! On the bright side, at least we know there are no SATs to sit this year so you can simply enjoy learning this week. Remember everything that you will be doing will prepare you for high school.
Take another look at your timetable, paper copy in your folder and I’ll also put it on the blog. However, just do as much as you can. Enjoy spending time with your family, help them wherever you can and remember be Ready, Respectful and Safe!
“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart…I’ll always be with you.” A.A. Milne.
I am so proud of all the children, enjoy your first day of learning in a different way and remember to plant those sunflower seeds. Mrs P
I’m sure you have done the following chores and are ready to start … Eaten breakfast, made your bed, got washed and dressed and put any laundry in the basket.
Family Walk/Run/Cycle
When you are out and about today, keep any eye out for signs of Spring. It would then be lovely if you could jot these down in your home learning book, or drew/painted a picture of what you saw.
Use Go Noodle and try Banana, Banana, Meatball again!
