Buenas Dias Swallows Class
I have some very exciting news! We have planned some opportunities for you to come back into school to spend time together as a class before the summer holidays and I CAN NOT wait to see you all. We are even having a PE lesson together back in school with Mr Ault! It is going to be amazing to see you all together again after all of this time apart. I might be a bit teary, you know what I'm like! I have missed you all more than words can say and so to know that we are going to have a couple of sessions together again as Y2 is fantastic. The information has gone out on the newsletter.
Visits to school for Years 2, 3, 4 and 5
Tuesday 7th July; Please pop into school sometime between 9:30am-11:30am or 1pm-2pm.
We would also like to invite the children in Years 2, 3, 4 and 5 to come into school on Friday 10th July for an outdoor PE lesson led by Mr Ault alongside their current class teacher . Your child will just need their water bottle and can wear their own clothes, please make sure that any trainers they wear can be done up independently.
Swallows Year 2 – 1:30pm-2:30pm
We also plan for the children in these year groups to spend either the morning or afternoon with their current class teacher to end the year together. Swallows Year 2 – 13th July 1pm-3pm

Daniel's family have all made a pledge (a promise) to make one change to try and help the plastics in our oceans problem. Like his Mummy, I am going to try and buy loose fruit at the shops where I can, instead of fruit inside a plastic container. I wonder what you and your family could try and change to reduce the amount of unnecessary plastic that we all use?
We continue our length lessons today, this time with some problem solving!

I saw a gorgeous idea today on line and so I have attached the photograph to show you. Maybe you could make one and fill it with flowers? Please always ask an adult before you pick any flowers.

Georgia’s Story
Georgie is 21. She’s a scuba diver and underwater photographer.
Introduced to fishing by her dad, Georgie made her hobby into a career when she followed her obsession with the ocean all the way to the sea bed.
Georgie’s dad is a keen pike fisherman and introduced her to wildlife conservation at a young age. As she grew up she became more and more fascinated with the ocean.
Wanting to improve her diving and marine identification skills, Georgie joined a project called Seasearch which encourages divers and snorkelers to record the marine life they see during their underwater adventures. Their findings are used by the Marine Conservation Society to make important management decisions.
The ocean covers around 71% of the world’s surface, so knowing what’s going on beneath the waves is just as important as knowing what’s going on above ground. And that’s where marine conservationists come in.
Marine conservationists play a crucial role in keeping our oceans healthy. Through monitoring marine life and underwater ecosystems, they can help us make better environmental choices. They can highlight the impact of plastics on the ocean, for instance, or identify which beaches are and aren’t safe to swim at.
Their findings can help protect endangered species or habitats.
How could you help our oceans? Could this be your job? What could you do now? How could you make a change?
Prayer Thank you, Lord, that you created such a beautiful place for us to live. We pray, Lord, that we may live out the trust you put in us to look after your world for you. Help us to love and care for those around us both near and distant. Amen
Have a great day my lovely Swallows class. Pop on over to our discussions page to let me know what you would like to do in PE with Mr Ault . I will see you very soon! 
Love Mrs Rice and Mrs Elson xxx
