I hope that you all had a super weekend in the sunshine. What did you get up to? Hop on over to our discussions page to tell me all about your weekend. We have another beautiful sunny day today, please go outside and enjoy this gorgeous weather. Remember your sun cream! 

Today's stoy is Mrs Downing reading Franklin’s Flying Bookshop- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFwOWhgOB6w. Get comfy and cosy and enjoy

I have found a lovely little poem for you that was written by a child in Primary School. Can you guess what the poet is describing in their poem?

Black and white
Thick and furry
Fast as the wind
Always in a hurry
Couple of spots
Rub my ears
Always comes when his name he hears
Loves his ball; it's his favorite thing
What's most fun for him? Everything!
Great big tongue that licks my face
Has a crate, his very own space
Big brown eyes like moon pies
He's my friend till the very end!

Chat to a member of your family today about your pet (or a pet you wish you had).

• What does it look like?
• What does your pet like to do?
• What’s your favorite thing about your pet?
• What makes that pet special?

Can you wrie your own pet poem like the one above? Have a go and show me. You can always upload your poem onto our discussions page for us all to read and enjoy. We could guess which pet you are describing in your poem.

A message from Mrs Powell

Alex Staniforth

Alex has had many barriers in his young life but found that he had a passion for the outdoors at a very young age. He found that if he was outside he was happy and chose many challenges including two attempts up Everest which failed due to an earthquake and avalanche. He said that we can’t always choose our challenges but we can choose how we respond to them. He says that Everest was just one step on his journey and his mission is to help others discover their own Everest in life and go for it. Alex is an amazing person, remember you can achieve anything in life that you want to do. Many years ago Alex went to school in Cheshire just like you do, I know because I taught him. I wonder what you will achieve and what your Everest will be? He and I would both say, you can do anything! I have emailed him recently and he has promised to come and talk to you all in school when it is safe to do so.

Have a wonderful sunny day Swallows. Remember to use your manners and always show the lovely kindness that you all have inside. 

Love from Mrs Rice and Mrs Elson xxx
