Dear Kahlo and Riley class, It has been very different in school this week but so nice to see some familiar smiley faces! I can’t wait until we can all be back together again. I hope you have been enjoying the home learning slides and the story time videos. I was a mystery reader last week…did you see my story called ‘Look Up’? Check it out here if you missed it! https://youtu.be/Ewpd_OqFQVU Now that we are allowed to see some friends and family outside, at a distance, I met up with one of my best friends, Emma. It rained but we still kept to the rules and stayed outside! It was strange not to be able to give her a hug, but it was so nice to see her! We talked about all of the holidays and fun adventures we have had in the past and what we are looking forward to doing when things go back to normal. This month we would normally be celebrating international day in school with food from around the world and creative activities like traditional dancing, singing and crafts. Do you remember on international day last year we had a book bus visit? You all enjoyed exploring the books and some of you bought one to take home! Make sure you check out the audio book slide for some books to read virtually. On my last welcome slide I said I was reading Lord of the Rings. I have finished the first book and now I am reading ‘The Two Towers’ which is the next book in the trilogy. What are you reading at the moment? Keep sending your amazing home learning pictures to the admin email. I love seeing what you have been up to!

I have also been busy catching up with my cousin and her husband on Zoom – we did quizzes for each other; her one was an unusual words spelling test and I scored 1 out of 10!
