Buenas Dias Swallows
Happy 1st of May! A new month, the sun is shining, we have the weekend and I have 28 fabulous Swallows that I am so proud of. This is a good day
It was brilliant to see some of you yesterday on my walk to the post box and outside of school. It made Mrs Elson and I have HUGE smiles all night! Listen out for the postman/postlady today or on Monday as something special is on its way to you right now...!
I have started a window in school called "Our Sharing Window" that will celebrate and display any art work, letters, poems that you would like us to put up. It is a great way of us being together even though we are apart. I have left a box in the entrance to school for you to drop anything into if you are passing school, it would be lovely to display the wonderful work that you are doing at home.
Today's work continues with our character descriptions and position and direction work in Maths. Thomas and I are a day behind you as I was in school yesterday so Thomas didn't want to do it without me! I will share our character description with you on Monday when we have completed it.

I have made cakes this week and I'm proud of me! I am not a baker at all, but I experimented and had great fun. The first ones were too buttery as I hadn't whisked the mixture properly but our second attempt were yummy! Have you baked/cooked anything? Send me some photos on Twitter so that I can see. There are some recipes on our website called Cooking with Maths that you could try with a grown up. One of our lovely Swallows made the Numicon biscuits on there, they looked amazing!
I couldn't release the butterflies yesterday, I'm sorry, as I was in school and it was raining when I got home. Today is the day, keep an eye out on Twitter.....
A message from Mrs Powell
“Somewhere inside all of us is the power to change the world.” Roald Dahl
You are amazing and you are doing something very special; by not leaving the house you are keeping safe. We have talked about making one small change that can change the world and actually that is what you are doing right now. I’ve said this a lot but future children will be reading how you made the world a safer place by staying inside. Remember what you are doing is amazing and we are so proud of you.
If you can, have a hot chocolate today. If not, have a cup of anything you like to drink and remember how very special we think you are!
This quote is perfect for us right now:
“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.” Winnie the Pooh
Have a wonderful day Swallows, keep saying gracias and de nada, keep smiling and remember this won't last for ever.
Much love from Mrs Rice and Mrs Elson xxxx
